Short Stories is a bold and vibrant new album of vocal
jazz from acclaimed Canadian composer and vocalist Don
Macdonald. Featuring seven original songs and three
inventive re-interpretations of classic material, the album is
a spirited celebration of melody and groove. Drawing on
Macdonald’s deep roots in jazz, folk, and contemporary
songwriting, each track pulses with character and motion,
bringing to life vivid scenes and unforgettable voices.
The album thrives on the magnetic interplay of a
powerhouse cast of musicians, including JUNO-winning
guitarist Mike Rud and award-winning pianist David
Restivo, whose chemistry fuels the music with wit, energy,
and heart. From the rollicking momentum of Clementine to
the lyrical drive of Sofia’s Coming Out, the performances
are electric and dynamic.
