Developed by myself and a few friends, New Standards is a bi-weekly music series intended to foster community and create space for musicians, artists, and listeners to imagine. New Standards is jazz & creative improvised music, every other Thursday. We activate spaces around Edmonton.

Borrowing visual cues from subway signage, New Standards uses two common symbols to communicate our vision: arrow, square. The name communicates something exploratory and familiar. New Standards is forward-thinking and grounded in jazz tradition.

This is my face; a little older and wiser than the last time the internet saw it. This is the way my eyes and ears and mouth and hair look today, and i like it.

This is the way my eyes sparkle now that that tiny pill started to kick in, and this is the face that’s grateful for all the expressions it can make, like snort-laughs and fat pouts and stretched lips into “o” shapes during voice lessons with angela. this is the face of a sensitive heart and this is how I look when being plopped into waiting-zone, need-some-patience-zone, feeling road-bump after road-bump after change! change! change! and decide that what I need, naturally, is more change. What I need is to book a haircut.

This is my “here I am, feeling real nice and warm with the sun on my face” face and my “I’m so happy it’s finally summer” face and my “I gotta start writing down the days before they all fly away” face.


Let me tell you why birthdays are so special.

For one day, each year, we’re celebrated for our very existence.

By none of our own ask or allowance, we somehow arrived here, and once a year we’re reminded that someone or some Thing decided it would be a very good thing if we were alive.

Someone chose your name and someone kissed your mama’s belly, and someone held up your little face, amazed that your little heart was beating so strong and so quiet; that your little lungs could scream so big.

Someone wished you a great time for the rest of your life and cried because you were tiny and pretty and because there was no manual for you or for them.

We share in that story, every single one of us.
