In 1964, the late Oscar Peterson released Canadiana Suite, an album based on a cross-Canada journey east to west that showed his love of thecountry through dazzling musicality. Now, 60 years later, Toronto pianist Rea Beaumont has crafted a very different ode, both to her homeland and life's journey, with the lovely single "Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)" from her excellent new album Enjoy The Journey.
"'Vancouver Vibe (Green Pieces)' is an upbeat, energizing piece that is perfect for Vancouver, where so many people are active -- walking, biking, hiking, jogging -- enjoying the outdoors and its impressive natural beauty," Beaumont says. "It's stunning. It is peaceful, but there is also a vibrancy that comes from the energy of the city, which inspired 'Vancouver Vibe.'"
