Versatile piano man Peter Hill, in addition to fronting his own creative Jazz combo, is the accompanist of choice for many different Jazz and Blues/Country artists. He’s perhaps best known for his role as 88s anchor for Laura Hubert’s Pop Jazz combo, which appears at The Rex this afternoon at 3:30, but also is a member of Col. Tom & The American Pour, which takes the spotlight next door at Cameron House at 6.
An indisputably gifted family, the Gladstones (not to be confused with The Gladstonians fronted by the recently deceased Lance Bennett) have musical members both well known and comparatively obscure. Brian Gladstone and brother Howard Gladstone are local Roots legends, both as songwriters and as organizer/promoters who have engineered showcase events that have helped a lot of their fellow artists. Sisters Bonnie and Marci Jameson, as well as lawyer/activist brother Martin, also have musical talents, as do several other members of the clan.
Tonight pretty much all of the members of the tribe, as well as “honourary Gladstone” Tony Quarrington, team up to perform as The Fabulous Gladstones at Free Times Café in TO starting at 8.
