July 10, 2010 - Demon Rich

Rich Underhill is a very interesting cat! Founding member and stalwart keeper of the flame that is the Shuffle Demons, he's had dalliances with harder-edged acid jazz, larger ensemble work on his album "Tales from the Blue Lounge", and some unique introspections on "Moment in Time" and "Kensington Suite". He's been touring the jazz festival circuit this summer, most recently in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Rich is a talented composer and arranger, and a lot of fun to hang with! MC Mic Control and I had the good fortune to sit in with Demon Rich and the rest of the Shuffle Demons on "Spadina Bus" during their last stop here in Nanaimo about 5-6 years ago. More baritone saxes on stage than you can shake a stick at, and it is still one of the musical highlights of my life.
