hello rene, i was recently listening to one of my all time favorite cd\'s the other day { silent witness} and decided to look around on the internet and see if i could find any information about your band. and to my dismay i found your no longer togther .... i bet you get this question allot but i would like to ask anyway. will this group ever perform live together again ??? if so how could i find out ??? the version that you did of naima is second to none as far as i am concerned. i never grow tired of listening to it. the bass and the drums are spot on perfection! i am no musician but i do know good music and that is some bad ass stuff !! if you should read this i would love to get a response from you ?? thanks for your contribution to music !! i will look to see what else i can find of yours. regards, lew

Rene, it was great to meet you tonight. But more important than that, I am so grateful to have been given a peak musical experience tonight. I perform with my son Kyle (he was sitting across the table from me) and I was so excited for him to hear why people like jazz... and what it sounds like when music swings. Your bass playing was (I'm sitting here shaking my head, trying to figure out how to verbalize it... ummmm....) OK... let me say it like this: I couldn't wait for you next bass solo and that is not my typical response to a bass solo!!!! You are such a melodic player... and the tastefullness and lushness of your playing... I don't think that I've ever heard anything so wonderful before.
Thanks, Rene!!!

Your playing tonight at the Cellar for the release of your new albums with Jennifer and Miles was stellar. My dad was a huge jazz afficionado and I absolutely felt he was there with his head swaying, toes and fingers tapping along to each and every piece of the two sets you did tonight. Bravo!

Hey, it's been along time. 1973-75 at Douglas College and we're still playing. I don't get much of a chance to play with you these days, i see Ron Thompson now and agin on the stand. You're a great player and hopefully we can get together sometime. By the way, the picture on the site with Chet Baker is also with my Brother, Norm Quinn. I bet he would love a copy of that and so would I. email nquinn@telus.net Thanks and take care. Say hi to Jennifer for me.

I just found your website - we went to elementary school and high school together and I remember hearing you and "your group" play in your house in Marpole. Congratulations on your success, you always knew what you wanted. Good on you!

Rene, your playing at the 2005 Pender Harbor Jazz Fest with Skywalk was the Best I've ever heard you play. Nice location looking over a Marina. I'll see you there this summer. I played Bass in Shadoplay with Skywalk at Sparky's/Calgary Jazz Fest.
