Leora is accompanied on bass by Russell Botten, and Tony Foster on piano. Tony is also gaining a lot of attention in Europe where he frequently performs as one of Canada’s hardest swinging pianists. Russell played regularly in the Linton Garner Trio and most recently, he is featured on Seattles’ Jay Thomas’ latest CD. Both Tony and Russell have performed with acclaimed US jazz vocalist, Ernestine Anderson.Together, this swingin’ combo serves up a mix of traditional vocal jazz, new and old and sophisticated original tunes in the tradition of the finest jazz vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan.
	Leora was honored to be included in the stellar line-up of Vancouver jazz musicians and vocalists captured on the O’Doul’s Restaurant and Bar CD, ‘*Take Time*’. And as the liner notes say, "It’s a great time to be a jazz fan in Vancouver, and this collection confirms it."

Tony Foster 29yr-old jazz pianist Tony Foster was born and raised in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. He received his initial musical training early on in school bands where his main instrument was the trumpet. His studies on the trumpet continued until college, and it was not until this time that his focus changed to piano. After playing with various university ensembles on the piano (highlighted by performances with guests such as jazz saxophone legend *Phil Woods), Foster participated in a residency at the Banff Jazz Workshop in 2000 where he studied and performed with notable jazz artists including saxophonist David Liebman, multi-instrumentalist Don Thompson, pianist Kenny Werner, and bassist Ray Drummond*.

	Russell Botten Russell Botten, a Victoria BC native, played sax, guitar and keyboard in various groups before settling exclusively with the bass and his favorite music, jazz. In 1983 he attended The Banff School Of Fine Arts to study with Dave Holland and Don Thompson. He also studied in the US with *Ray Brown, Gary Peacock* and *John Clayton. In 1990 he moved to Vancouver and toured Japan and the US with jazz vocalist Ernestine Anderson* and did several concerts and CBC broadcasts with Renee Rosnes and Diana Krall. His more recent credits include a CD with Seattle’s *Jay Thomas, a TV series with Louise Rose, and club dates with Herb Ellis, Bud Shank, and Paul Horn*.
