On Even Canadians Get The Blues, the legendary Canadian valve-trombonist, master arranger, and multi-Grammy-winning big band architect Rob McConnell leads his powerhouse orchestra, The Boss Brass, into a towering, historically luminous, and masterfully panoramic blues exploration. Released in 1996 by the premier vanguard jazz imprint Concord Jazz, this monumental milestone stands as an exceptionally fluid, high-octane monument capturing Canada's definitive premier large ensemble at the absolute height of their late-career tracking synchronization. Spanning over 66 minutes of immaculate high-fidelity spatial design, the 9-track expansive landscape operates with an intense, beautifully syncopated, and masterfully balanced brass-and-reed kinetic energy. McConnell acts as a brilliant sonic visionary, framing sophisticated, world-renowned horn section counterpoint and deep mainstream pocket grooves—tracking spectacular landmarks like the hard-swinging opener Blue Tag, the lively, Herman-esque title track showcase Even Canadians Get The Blues, the lushly orchestrated woodwind features on The Clarinet Is Black And Blue, and the sprawling, high-voltage jam vehicle The Shuffle Blues Swamp Groove Blue. Backed by an all-star pantheon of Canadian session titans, this pristine archive remains an indispensable masterpiece for serious big band purists and large ensemble jazz collectors worldwide.
