| Glebop Jazz Trio We provide generally mellow, accessible jazz consisting of popular standards, jazz standards and originals. We have appeared for the past several years at the Ottawa International Jazz Festival and perform frequently at weddings and corporate and private receptions and parties. We are now in our seventh year of regular Sunday evening performances at the Arrow and the Loon Pub in Ottawa's Glebe neighbourhood. We have also played several times in the noon hour jazz series at the Clarica Centre. Although we perform most frequently as a trio, according to the demands of the occasion, we add drums, a vocalist and/or additional horns. We regularly perform with many of the National Capital Region's leading jazz singers. The following unsolicited testimonial is from a young couple at whose wedding reception we recently played: "Thank you so much for the musical accompaniment you gave us. From the moment we arrived at the cocktail hour to our first dance you immediately set us all at ease, playing our emotions of joy and excitement for all to hear. Thank you so much for the gift of music." And another: “A quick note to say thank you and tell you how much our guests enjoyed your music . . your performance was enjoyed by all. Your jazzy tunes were a perfect fit with the outdoor venue. We’re glad that you were part of our celebration. Thank you.” Glebop has become a fixture on the Ottawa jazz scene. The list of guest artists that have appeared with us reads like a "who's who" of the Ottawa scene - Brian Browne, Mike Rud, Garry Elliott, Sol Gunner, Bill Gobby, Karen Oxorn, Peter Hum, Dominique Forest, Nicole Ratte, Norbert Boyce, Charlie Gordon, Don Johnson, Denis Ouellet, Dave Ward, etc. MembersBert Waslander - piano Howard Tweddle - bass John Haysom - trumpet, flugel horn, valve trombone & various other brass instruments Why the name?Two of us live in the Glebe.
