2012 JUNO AWARD NOMINEES
Instrumental Album of the Year
Stretch Orchestra
In addition to being perhaps the tallest band in Canada (average height 6’5), Stretch Orchestra is one of the most eclectic and musically well travelled. In performance, they routinely traverse a wide gamut of musical styles from jazz to rock to folk often within a single tune. This eclecticism is reflected in the diverse musical backgrounds of each member of the group: Kevin Breit has collaborated with a remarkable array of musicians (including Norah Jones, k.d. lang, Hugh Laurie, and Cassandra Wilson), in addition to leading his own groups Sisters Euclid and Folkalarm. He has performed on 13 Grammy Award-winning recordings and multiple JUNO winners. Raised on jazz and classically trained at Yale, Matt Brubeck has taken his cello skills into diverse musical territories, including work with Tom Waits, Sheryl Crow, Yo-Yo Ma, and his father, jazz legend Dave Brubeck. In 2008, he received a JUNO nomination for his duo Brubeck Braid. Percussionist Jesse Stewart has performed and/or recorded with a wide array of musical luminaries including George Lewis, Roswell Rudd, Evan Parker, Pauline Oliveros, and many others. Together, they form one of the most musically adventurous and exciting trios on the scene today.
