When three of the best Jazz musicians in the area get together, there's bound to be some awesome music going on. That's the case with Jokela Vogan Cooley, who've recently released their momentous instrumental, self-titled debut album.
The trio boasts Guelph's Ben Jokela on piano, Waterdown's Garth Vogan on bass and Orangeville's Charlie Cooley on drums. All three have put their best foot forward with this recording and it definitely shows.
This album has some incredible kinetic energy as the boys bounce, swing, and funk up their way through a few numbers (many recorded live at Manhattans in Guelph). They also prove their artistry with the slower tracks too.
Grab a copy of the CD at their cool live shows or order it (download too) through their website.

Great to see this trio being recognized for the talented group they are! I highly recommend seeing them live, their energy is intoxicating and it's always a wonderful experience. Congrats Ben, Charlie and Garth!
