How's Now? - Wayne Eagles (Carleton Sound)
W. Eagles, guitar; M. Bussiere, keyboards; B. Eagles, vocals, bass; R. Frayne, saxophone; L. Kelly, drums; B. Wittet, drums; M. Milligan, bass; M. Parizeau, percussion.

The title of Ottawa guitarist Wayne Eagles' debut release is a play on the Dave Holland tune, ÒHow's NeverÓ, covered herein. On that tune, as ragged and rocky as Holland is jazzy, Eagles displays a fine melodic sense. A guitarist of great improvisational facility, he leans towards the romantic and wistful yet isn't afraid to take it way out fearlessly - for example, on ÒHow's NeverÓ. Mike Milligan stamps his personality all over this album, playing upright when others go electric. Great performances by vocalist Brian Eagles and the ever-solid Lorne Kelly. In what turns out to be a mŽlange of styles, ÒB.C-ing-yaÓ stands as a song that could survive another take and triumph as a fusion jazz standard.
