\u201cFor the past 14 years it has been my pleasure to be a part of Odyssey Showcase\u2019s productions. I wholeheartedly feel that their productions are icons of priceless educational and entertainment value.\nMy name is Darin Kyle. I am the first Canadian World Tap Dance Champion. I am a keynote speaker and local \u201ccommunity building\u201d activist in Ottawa. My roots in this city run deep. And I have deep respect for how Deborah Davis, her crew and her cast have made an impact on the lives of students. With song, dance and storytelling, audiences of all ages and especially students have been guided through the importance of Canada\u2019s history and culture.\nOdyssey Showcase is devoted to finding the right talent to do the job and does it extraordinarily well. It is my opinion that if given the opportunity to back the Canada Speaks project, then the only course of action is to throw all of your support behind the initiative and ride the subsequent wave of success. Speaking from experience, it will be a partnership built on mutually assured success. I welcome you to experience this partnership for yourself.\u201d Darin David Kyle\n\n\n<\/div>\n

\u201cDeborah Davis is someone people respect and admire with great affection. Partly, because of the incredible energy she is prepared to devote to what she believes in, but even more, it is because that is how she feels about all of them. Cast and crew, sponsors, teachers, children, students and everyone associated with anything Deborah touches all support her because she brings to life in ways others can only dream of, so much that is moving, beautiful, inspiring and, quite simply, the best in us. Deborah brings people together through the arts.\u201d\n\n\u201c\u2026Most of all, Deborah is one of those rare individuals that encompasses musical talent with a deep sense of purpose. Her strong beliefs in supporting Canadian culture have given her a \u201craison d\u2019\u00eatre\u201d She is very generous with sharing a stage with all performers and unwavering in getting the best quality to any project she initiates. My association as musical director for her many endeavors has been a great journey that goes back twenty years including projects such as A Musical Taste of our Canadian Heritage, Satin Dolls, What is this Thing called Jazz, Choonga Changa and various other musical performances.\nI would be remiss if I did not mention her generosity to bring out and personally pay for hundreds of economically disadvantaged local children over the past nineteen years to have the opportunity to see the productions\u2026\u2026Deborah is very deserving and long overdue for any awards in the arts.\u201d\nPeter Beaudoin, Musical Director and Musician\n\nAbout Peter: Peter has over thirty years of experience as a musician, drummer and band leader. He has also completed nine Canadian Forces world show tours, to Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Dubai. He has had an impressive career as a respected and well sought after performer and recording musician with numerous world class Canadian and international artists including Harry Chapin, Petula Clark, Rita Coolidge and Rob McConnell (Boss Brass) to name a few. Peter has been working with Deborah Davis since 1997 on a number of projects as Musical Director includingSatin Dolls, What is this Thing Called Jazz, Canada Roars and the Canadian Musical Odyssey Ensemble.\nPeter Beaudoin\n\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt is always wonderful to witness tribute to an American art form because doing so tips a hat to all of the diversity that contributes to its creation. The American experiment, at its very core is a testament to the involvement of so many cultures and backgrounds and the blessings that emerge.\nJazz is an American treasure, a Gift given by its people to the world, musically and rhythmically depicting its pain, joy, energy, youthfulness, recklessness and wonder. This is clearly seen in the presentation by Deborah Davis\u2019 Gift of Jazz, chronicling the birth, resurrection and deployment of this art form on the world stage.\nAt the core of this performance we see and feel the soul of the African Diaspora. We hear the agony of the middle passage and hope of a people newly freed from bondage. As the scenery and century turns and America begins to flex we witness the influences of the European classics and modernity on the presentation of jazz into the mainstream of culture. The \u2018Gift\u2019 presentation gives homage to the great performers of Bessie Smith, Louis \u2018Satchmo\u2018 Armstrong, Fats Waller and many more.\nAll of the \u2018Gift\u2019 performers and musicians are dedicated artisans and lovers of both the arts and their professionalism is evident in this performance.\nIt is very clear the Deborah Davis and Segue to Jazz has a winner in the \u2018Gift of Jazz\u2019 as she continues to share this with the Greater Ottawa Community. When presented again it is a must see.\u201d Michael Curtis Hanna\n\nAbout Michael: Michael was blessed with the unique life experience of living in a community with Sarah Vaughn, Al Hibler, Thad Jones, Nat Adderly and a host of noted musicians around the corner from his home. Born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey he was immersed in much of the changing musical landscape of the past 50 years.\nFinding Jesus and Gospel music Michael sang in church choirs from Detroit to Ottawa. As a solo vocalist, Michael toured with and for his father, the late Sir Roland Hanna in the United States and Japan. Having a fondness for male vocal harmony, Michael nurtured this love of singing with male a cappella groups including the Canadian Men\u2019s Chorus of Toronto.\nMichael currently manages Rahanna Music Inc., and has developed over 300 compositions of Sir Roland Hanna. He can also be found on several CD\u2019s in addition to performing in Ottawa and abroad. Michael Hanna\n\n\n<\/div>\n

Jazz music has certainly created enough romantic standards to slip into when making a Valentine\u2019s Day playlist for that candle lit dinner with your sweetheart. Ella and Louis singing \u201cCheek to Cheek\u201d, Miles soothing horn on \u201cStella by Starlight\u201d, the sensual crooning of Holiday singing \u201cLet\u2019s Do It (Let\u2019s Fall In Love)\u201d and, of course, sorrowful Chet and his funny Valentine. \n\nWhen you dip your toe into the vast ocean of jazz and you\u2019re looking for love, the waters you wade into make for a fine history lesson in the music of romance. \n\nOn this day, however, where lights were being dimmed, chocolates unwrapped and everyone appeared to be walking around with a bouquet of roses, the Odyssey Showcase went even deeper into those waters. Be you an aficionado of the genre or curious about its roots, The Gift of Jazz: From Africa to New Orleans to the True North Strong and Free was a show with a lot to love on a day devoted to that very sentiment. \n\nIt was a trip through the decades at the National Gallery only this time it wasn\u2019t via the artwork on the walls. From the cotton fields to the church pews where the glorious gospel of \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d and \u201cSwing Low Sweet Chariot\u201d rang out to the heavens, the beginnings of jazz in the hands (and voices) of Michael Curtis Hanna and Deborah Davis was, well, just heavenly! \n\nEarly on, however, we were shown that even in its hymnary beginnings, the seeds of jazz could still swing. \n\nThat church transformed into a jumping joint in New Orleans when those saints came marching in and then continued that march right on into rag-time as Scott Joplin\u2019s \u201cThe Entertainer\u201d provided an interlude before the Roaring Twenties had Hanna busting out his best Louis Armstrong. \u201cBasin Street Blues\u201d and \u201cBirth of the Blues\u201d had this reviewer picturing a smoky nightclub somewhere \u2018round midnight where the sound of a trumpet carried all the way down the Main where it seemed like even the street lights were swaying. \n\nBefore things wound down too much, the chica, chica boom made famous by Carmen Miranda bought out World Tap Dancing Champion Darin Kyle and equally impressive Bernadette B\u00e9langer. Each time one, the other and especially both took the stage it wowed the audience. Some in the crowd couldn\u2019t sit any longer and found being upright and boppin\u2019 was the best way to be. \n\nThe first act contained a stunning tribute to jazz music\u2019s Satin Dolls. Women like Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald and Bessie Smith received a fitting homage in the vocals of Davis and Sheril Shaw. \n\nInterspersed between the music was the history with Canadian Olympic Hurdler Sekou Kaba serving as the show\u2019s narrator, explaining the context of the chosen songs and their place in the legacy of jazz. Actors helped accentuate this via their portrayals of historical figures in and outside of the music. Darin Kyle\u2019s Booker T. Washington, Tifanni Kenny\u2019s Harriet Tubman and Simone Shepherd\u2019s Viola Desmond were particular standouts. Other guests for the evening included CTV News Anchor Stefan Keyes and Poet Laureate Jamaal Jackson Rogers.\n\nOf course, you can\u2019t have jazz without a band that can kick it up to 11 as much as they can tug on your heart strings with a slowed down groove. Ren\u00e9 Lavoie took care of that business on the sax with Ed Bimm on the piano, Ken Kanwisher strumming the upright bass and Gino Scaffidi on Electric Guitar. Yet, it just might be the band\u2019s musical director and drummer, Peter Baudoin, who stole the show. \n\nAs the second set reached a crescendo on \u201cSing Sing\u201d, out strolled fancy footed Kyle again. \n\nWhat proceeded was an all-out tap dancing verses drumming battle that nearly set of the fire alarms. Ohhhhh yeah, it was that hot! \n\nBeaudoin slammed the skins as fast as Kyle\u2019s feet could carry him with no clear winner in the musical dual (but us the audience, of course). It all led into a jubilant medley of Motown that got us dancing in our seats. \n\nSo, while this Valentine\u2019s Day was sure to bring sweet delectables, floral buffets and, I\u2019m sure, something gold, diamond and glistening for some, this music lover was more than content with what Odyssey Showcase gave me to unwrap: The Gift of Jazz.

\u201cThe Gift of Jazz celebrates the profound impact and diversity of black culture and history and portrays a musical story-telling of the contributions of African Americans in the development of music. The Gift of Jazz is engaging, dynamic\u2026.and a must see for both families and school groups. As a parent of an 9 year old and 14 year old, I can honestly say they were both fascinated by the production. Afterwards we engaged in wonderful discussions about the lives of African Americans, civil rights, and how mood and experience contributed to the development of different genres of jazz. As a 6th grade teacher, I see The Gift of Jazz\u201d as an educational \u201cgift\u201d for all junior-senior level students. With the wealth of social justice and curricular connections the production provides, it\u2019s the perfect support addition to support Black History Month.
