Description
The Davidson/Murley/Braid Quintet (DMBQ) is a collaborative effort amongst Juno Award winners Mike Murley, David Braid, and emerging artist Tara Davidson. They represent world-class improvisation with lyrical grace, contemporary harmony, and rhythmic vitality.  DMBQ's repertoire consists entirely of compositions written by the three leaders - many pieces written specifically for this ensemble. While Davidson, Murley, and Braid draw on varied influences in their compositional styles they all share an affection for lyricism, bringing a cohesion to the band's otherwise diverse repertoire.

Personnel: Mike Murley (Sax), Tara Davidson (Sax), David Braid (Piano), Jim Vivian (Bass) & New York's Ian Froman (Drums).

The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar
"Where jazz musicians come to hear jazz." From humble beginnings, The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Bar has grown into a musical mecca presenting 19 shows per week. Since the late '80s, the Rex has been at the forefront of Toronto's thriving local jazz scene. The casual atmosphere, eclectic mix of retro-chic decor, and an exciting variety of draught beer combine to make The Rex feel like a second home. The Jazz & Blues Bar continually attracts Canada's finest musicians and is unique in that it remains distinctly inexpensive and affordable for the budget-conscious. During the annual Downtown Jazz Festival, The Rex is one of the central venues with the busiest programme. All year long, it's not unusual for world-renowned musicians (like Kurt Elling, Randy Brecker, Chris Potter, Roy Hargrove & The RH Factor, Joshua Redman, Russel Malone, Harry Connick Jr., George Garzone, David Binney & Mark Turner, The Bloomdaddies, Willem Breuker Kollektiv, Ricardo Del Fra, Derek Trucks Band, Mulgrew Miller, Eric Reed, Stacy Rowles, Ani Difranco, Maceo Parker, Dave Liebman, Chris Tarry & Henry Hey & Pete McCann, Rudder's Chris Cheek, Tim LeFebvre and Keith Carlock, Gary Versace & Dan Weiss, Slide Hampton, Joe & Pat LaBarbera, Christian Scott, Rob McConnell, Donny McCaslin & Ben Monder & Scott Colley & Antonio Sanchez and many more) to show up on our stage. At The Rex, we stay true to our motto: "More Great Jazz than anywhere else, all the time!"
