CAPIC Honorary Member Pat LaCriox’s Toronto Jazz Treasures

26/06/2017 By Pierre St-Onge

CAPIC Honorary Member Pat LaCriox’s Toronto Jazz Treasures

Well, it took us three and a half years but Toronto Jazz Treasures is now printed and available.

The book was the brainchild of my late wife Naomi Patricia. She conceived it, named it and brought it to life. Ted O’Reilly, Gerald George, who designed and produced the book and I, Pat LaCroix ,as well as all the wonderful people who donated their time and talents to the project are very proud of the book.

It is a celebration of the fantastic Jazz musicians who live, perform and teach the beautiful art of Jazz music in Toronto.  The book consists of 100 black and white portraits I made of these musicians and the histories of their careers, beautifully written by Ted O’Reilly. This collection just scratched the surface of the huge number of Toronto’s world class Jazz players but we had to cut it off at a manageable number.

The total cost of printing the book was donated by several companies and individuals and everyone who worked on the book worked pro bono.

Thanks to these generous people, all the sales of the book will be donated to two charities.  They are The Ken Page Memorial Trust a charity in aid of musicians, and Neshama a new palliative care hospice being started by Dr. Sandy Buchman.

The book can be purchased online for $60 dollars and $15 delivery fee.

Go to the attached link to our website and give it a look.

John Reeves, a long-time member of CAPIC and winner of the CAPIC Lifetime Achievement Award, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2016

02/02/2017 By Pierre St-Onge

John Reeves, a long-time member of CAPIC and winner of the CAPIC Lifetime Achievement Award, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2016 with his wife Beverly McGhee and good friend Michael Hood by his bedside. John will be celebrated for his iconic portraits of Canadian and International figures; Margaret Atwood, Oscar Peterson, Jackie Burroughs, Robertson Davies and Dizzy Gillespie to name a few. According to his friend Barry Callaghan, John’s ability to receive was an important factor in getting those great portraits.

“You can give until the cows come home, but if you’re not ready to receive, it doesn’t mean a thing. John was always ready to receive.”

John was published in almost every Canadian magazine. His greatest love, after photography, was jazz music. He said his best experience as a photographer was photographing 100 jazz musicians for a book with Gene Lees, Jazz Lives. He will be deeply missed, especially by the arts community, but John has left us a stellar legacy of over 500 portraits.
