Bruno Hubert - Fire Waltz

On this recording, Hubert is joined by longtime trio mates James Meger on bass and Joe Poole on drums. They have been playing together regularly for at least seven years. Meger, a Vancouver native and a graduate of the McGill University jazz music program, has been on the Vancouver scene for well over a decade. Extremely versatile, Meger is as comfortable with experimental electronic music, pop, and free jazz as he is with Hubert’s bebop-informed jazz—if one can put Hubert’s music in any category but its own.

Joe Poole has perhaps been the most in-demand jazz drummer on the Vancouver scene for some years now. Poole studied with the great Oscar Peterson in his formative years and has played with many jazz greats over the years including Curtis Fuller, Houston Person, Russell Malone, and many others.
