Jim
Galloway
An excellent swing soprano
player with a lighter
tone than Sidney Bechet,
Jim Galloway has made
many recordings with like-minded
veterans. He played locally
in Scotland on clarinet
and alto before emigrating
to Canada in 1965. He
soon began specializing
on soprano, led the Metro
Stompers (1968), put together
the Wee Big Band (1978),
and hosted the weekly
jazz radio program Toronto
Alive! (1981-1987). Galloway,
who has appeared at many
jazz festivals and jazz
parties, has recorded
for Sackville, Hep, and
Music & Arts along
with several smaller Canadian
labels with such pianists
as Dick Wellstood, Art
Hodes, and most often
with Jay McShann. ~ Scott
