The word on the Calgary jazz scene is Verismo, the elite quintet founded by saxophonists Pat Belliveau and Jeremy Brown, and filled out by bassist John Hyde, pianist Derek Stoll and drummer John De Wall. The modern jazz and hard bop on their self-titled debut was hailed across Canada for its originality, cohesiveness, virtuosity and the brilliance of pieces like “Trojan Horse” and “Winter”. A fresh chinook blows out of the West!
