Celebrity Concert Series presents jazz singer Aubrey Tadman

With a sound all his own and the swing and soul of Mel Torme, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, jazz singer and writer Aubrey Tadman has journeyed far and wide from his native Winnipeg, performing across North America and scriptwriting in Hollywood and Toronto for some of TV' s top shows (among them Three's Company, Welcome Back Kotter, Mama's Family and Private Benjamin).

The veteran performer has been featured in the Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto Jazz Festivals, and played prestigious clubs and halls across North America. Along with the great singers of the last half century, Tadman numbers among his influences the great instrumentalists: Lester Young, Stan Getz, Chet Baker and Miles Davis among them. His latest CD for Groovetime Records is “Stay with Me.”

Recent years have seen him sing in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and in famous venues in the U.S. and Canada like The Jazz Bakery, Geri's World, the Racquet Club and Rossini's Jazz Clubs in Vancouver. On Friday, Oct. 14 he appears in the 2005-2006 Celebrity Concert Series at McMaster University's Convocation Hall.

Wrapped in ivy, spacious, dignified and acoustically great, Convocation Hall on the campus of Hamilton's McMaster University is once again the setting for the star-studded Celebrity Concert Series, adding eight more brilliant Friday 8 p.m. performances to those that have echoed there since the series began in 1971. Here is unforgettable music at its very finest, spanning ages, ideas, styles and offering delights for every taste.

All performances in the Celebrity Concert Series are at 8 p.m. on Friday evenings. Tickets are $17 general, $12 senior and $5 student. Subscribers enjoy substantial savings. The Celebrity Concert Series is presented by the McMaster University School of the Arts, which also presents a seven-concert Free Lunchtime Concert Series on Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m., and some ten Ensemble Concerts annually by the McMaster Chamber Orchestra, McMaster Concert Band, McMaster University Choir and McMaster University Jazz Band.
