Announcing the release of “The Art Of You” a 3-song EP by gypsy jazz quintet iSpy — now available on iTunes, Spotify, AppleMusic, GooglePlay and more!

This EP is the first in a series of recordings for the Toronto based group and features 3 original gypsy-jazz songs written by Toronto based songstress Rebecca Everett and arranged and performed by her band iSpy.

Preview the album here on Spotify:

Recorded and produced in Toronto at Bluesound & Music by Russ Mackay (Iron Maiden, Gowan) and mastered by Peter Moore (Bob Dylan, Cowboy Junkies), the three song EP was recorded entirely live off the floor using mostly vintage analog equipment to capture the live, organic sounds that define the gypsy and hot-club genres of music.

This Friday July 14th 2017 iSpy will be celebrating this release with a live performance at La Rev in the Junction (2848 Dundas St W).

Kicking off the EP release performance will be Eastside’s own Andrew James Barker who will be playing songs from his album “Low Moon” and previewing music from his upcoming release “Gunslinger” (7pm) followed by two full sets of iSpy (8-10pm).

Good day! This month’s episode ‘Final Cuts’ features your host Eric Brombacher along with panelists Andrew Barker, Craig Robertson, and Jerry Leger. We get together to discuss all of the great musical things happening at Eastside Confectionery Records. Naturally we also drift and meander through various music-related (and some non-music related) topics.

In this episode we revisit the concept of song order and placement on albums, our first episode discussed ‘first cuts’ so now we go to the end of the album and check out the closers! We cap off the show with an intimate performance of “Just Let It Go” by Eric & The Soo.
