MJ BUELL Toe-a-tapping, he seems poised to take the stage and count the guys in! But their clarinet-playing dad, Joseph, would have to wait a while for the family band, because in 1946 John was an infant, and Joe wasn’t even born yet! A “rich” opportunity took him travelling, fresh out of college in 1967, and he’s been blowing his horns internationally ever since. On the front-line of Toronto’s jazz scene since 1974, he’ll be celebrating Coltrane’s birthday at the Rex in Toronto, September 20-22 (9:30pm) and at the Jazz Room in Kitchener, Sept 23 (4pm).
