HOT & TIGHT

Climax's first gig was at Albert's Hall, upstairs at Toronto's Ye Olde Brunswick House, from May 1971, for six nights a week. Their fame spread far and wide, leading to charter flights to New Orleans, invitations to festivals all over North America, Europe and Japan and popular jazz cruises. They've played every Saturday afternoon since 1983 at the Chick' N' Deli, opposite the Newbigging Funeral Home. Their British-style trad jazz is hot and tight, covering a wide repertoire of marches, blues, spiritualsm ragtime and popular songs. Great for dancing and listening too! They've recorded 25 albums the latest Toronto To New Orleans, released early in 2001.
