| 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.

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.
