Here We Go Again is a collection of original jazz compositions that explore the timeless themes of love and loss. Yoxon & Ferguson\u2019s songs evoke the old style of the Great American Songbook, infusing them with an updated harmonic sense and contemporary jazz practices.<\/p>\n
As Yoxon\u2019s sophomore album,\u00a0Here We Go Again\u00a0marks a shift in artistic focus, one with emphasis on original lyrics and composition. Never straying far from her roots in traditional jazz, Yoxon\u2019s new creations will resonate with fans of her first album,\u00a0Let\u2019s Call it a Day, a collection of jazz standards which received overwhelmingly positive reviews and national radio play.\u00a0 \u201cAfter making that recording and more recent opportunities to work with people who were writing their own songs\u201d says Yoxon, \u201cI was really inspired to take the plunge and write my own material.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ferguson brings his years of professional experience to the project. One of Ottawa\u2019s busiest musicians with numerous composing, arranging and producing credits to his name, Ferguson gained fresh inspiration from his collaboration with Yoxon. As he explains, \u201cRen\u00e9e is an exceptionally talented singer as well as a creative songwriter and lyricist. It\u2019s great to be able to write a piece of music and to have my musical thoughts expressed by what Ren\u00e9e writes lyrically.\u201d<\/p>\n
Here We Go Again\u00a0also features Ottawa\u2019s Jeff Asselin on drums, Ren\u00e9 Gely on guitar, and Craig Pedersen on trumpet, as well as Montreal\u2019s Joel Kerr on bass and Frank Lozano on tenor sax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
