Jazz
a re-print from “The Record”
The kind of Jazz Stanley Lake likes to perform is about the here and now, that moment in time that expresses itself through emotion. How one feels is how one sounds, so it’s no wonder then that Lake is able to bring the same characteristics of his musical performances to another art form, Improvisational story telling.
Lake came to Canada in 1975 from Cleveland, Ohio. He started playing piano at the age of five and traveled a twisting path of fate which finally led him to the trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet as the instruments of choice for his musical interests. For eighteen years he studied classical music until one day he was smitten by the allure of jazz.
“It moves me so deeply,” he explains. “Music fills my life with passion. It takes over the spirit of who we are. It’s really great.
The Sutton Jazz Festival
Homegrown, believable and inspiring

What’s with this thing called jazz, that moves people to rejoice and express themselves musically. For nine years now Stanley Lake has poured his heart and soul into the Sutton Jazz festival, and has created an annual celebration of musical spirit.
To him, jazz aficionados are the ones that “keep showing up year after year to hear the glorious sounds of jazz…intellectuals some say. Finger snappers. Head bobbers. Hipsters and ‘Cool Daddy Os’, mesmerized by the sounds of Jazz. Attracted to a music that is both accessible and at times inaccessible. Comprehensible and incomprehensible.”

Lise Cameron et Jacques Lecours interprèteront les chansons les plus mémorables de ce duo exceptionnel, sous la direction musicale de Michael Hynes, accompagné de Kevin Sullivan.

Radio can be like a trampoline. A springboard of sorts. Launching the feelings, sentiments and interests of a community into the slipstream of magnetic airwaves and electrons, showing up on people’s Ipods, radios and computers. The better the capturing capabilities of CIDI, the more interesting Radio Communautaire Missisquoi becomes to its listeners.
By “capturing devices” I mean good microphones, a piano, and a live broadcasting facility. CIDI’s studio area is such a place, or at least will be by the end of the month. Now that we have removed a couple of walls and are having a stage built at one end of our newly designated venue, which will be able to seat close to 100 people, the mind-gears of CIDI volunteers have been churning coming up with possible artists to present to two audiences; on air, and in house.
