The Paragon (a.k.a. Dr. Dave) Trio
Grant Jones - guitar, Glenn Lambert - drums, Dave
McCrea - bass
Grant Jones
Grant is a guitarist based in Winnipeg. He has performed in big bands,
horn combos, trios and duos and has studied under some of
Winnipeg’s best jazz musicians including Stefan Bauer and
Marilyn
Lerner. He played at the 2005 Winnipeg Jazz Festival with Jodie Borle
and can be seen at many venues in the Winnipeg area including the
Current Lounge at the Inn at the Forks and the McNally Robinson
bookstore café. His full, rich tone and easy manner have
prompted many listeners to nod, smile and say, “Waitress,
where
the hell is my beer…I ordered it 15 minutes ago!”
Glenn Lambert
 Glenn's
love of music and people has encouraged him to remain a staple
on the Winnipeg music scene for over thirty years. Initially a self
taught drummer, first picking up his fathers drumsticks at age 12, he
gigged extensively in Winnipeg before continuing his music career in
Toronto and studying there with famed Motown drummer/clinician Peter
Magadini. Another musical highlight at that time was playing with the
renowned Johnny Winter at the Panasonic Tower in Niagara Falls. Prior
to this, Glenn was a member, for many years, of the legendary Club
Morocco House Band backing up many international acts. Glenn returned
to hometown Winnipeg and his gig at Club Morocco to further his
education and raise his family, gigging as well with the Stephan Bauer
Quartet, Janice Finlay Group, and the Swing Cats.
Dave McCrea
 Dave
has been an active member of the Winnipeg music scene for many
years playing in community, local and regional rock bands on the
“A” circuit. A founding member of the Big Roll
Band, Dave has performed at many clubs, weddings private and corporate
functions. He is also an original member of Mike Chiappetta’s
Eastwood Gang who perform weekly at the Pony Corral on Grant Ave.
Dave’s influences range from the hard rock of the 60's, to
the unsung heros of the Motown rhythm sections, to the giants of jazz.
The Dr. Dave trio is his favourite gig - he never argues with the
leader. Dave moonlights as a medical scientist and can often be seen on
the streets of Ottawa washing the car windows of bureaucrats and
begging to get a small research grant. |
