LA INFORMACION GENERAL:
Jazz Republic is the name of an Ottawa-based
jazz band i used to play with, that split
during the summer of 1999 due to the fact that we were all heading to different
universities. herein, you shall find the mp3s of our first and only album
entitled
No Showy Diplomacy which was recorded and released around the summer of '97. these mp3s are
provided for free, and feel free to spread em around to friends and enemies alike so all
may bask in the glory which is Jazz Republic. the bandwidth demands that these scorching
jazz hits are generating, however, have put a slight dent in the bills department around
here. i would hence like to ask for a donation, if you enjoy the music and feel like
donating. the proceeds go directly to the immensely generous folks who have been hosting
this site.
LOS MIEMBROS:
Andrew Bell - trumpet
Rory Lucyshyn-Wright - saxophone
Samuel Myer - piano
