O&A Polaris Prize - Galloway Wee Big Band - Victoria Street

Out and About: This clip starts with Debby Friday taking a bow, even before she was announced as winner of the 2023 Polaris Music Prize. I got there just as she was ending her set. Then played Dan Mangan, Begonian, Aysanabee, snd Snotty Nose Rez Kids. Massey Hall is just a short walk from the Arts & Letters Club where The Jim Galloway Wee Big Band played a night of blues "a-la-ellington." I'm thinking they were original Ellington charts but can't say for sure. On the way I passed the Jazz Bistro there was a cookin' little combo.
