About Me

The Tim Posgate Hornband is soon to release their second CD featuring American jazz-tuba legend and multi-instrumentalist Howard Johnson. (Charles Mingus, Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal, Miles Davis, The Band, John Lennon…) The new music features a lot of banjo and even more eclectic influences moving toward the roots music category.

This group performed at the Rochester Jazz Festival, Stockholm Jazz Festival as well as the 40th anniversary of the Pori (Finland) Jazz Festival and has performed at all the major Canadian Jazz Festivals. (www.guildwoodrecords.com)
Leader, guitarist and primary composer Tim Posgate and trumpeter Lina Allemano have toured Canada extensively including work with Tim Posgate’s Jazzstory and were both recently nominated as top instrumentalists for Canada’s National Jazz Awards. Quinsin Nachoff is the fourth member playing tenor sax, clarinet and flute. Nachoff was the winner of Canada Council’s Jazz ID Competition as well as being a semi-finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Tenor Sax Competition in Washington D.C.
With only three horns and guitar/banjo this unique quartet creates a mélange of sound that will entertain a friendly listener with it’s compositions drawing heavily on jazz, folk and bluegrass influences.
These three Canadians have all released numerous Cds as leaders as well as working with Joe Lovano, Don Byron, Steve Lacy, Kenny Wheeler, Mark Helias, Jim Black, and Jane Bunnett among others. Howard Johnson continues to perform with his popular tuba ensemble Gravity.
