Central Park North - featuring jazz transcriptions of Canadian artists, bios, and more

"The further north you, the more intense the music gets" - Paul Bley

Welcome to Central Park North, a website constructed primarily to promote Canadian jazz music, and it's musicians. If you've been here since late 1999, you'll notice a lack of updates. This is due to my other online duties - webmaster of the very popular website Guitar at About. If you're interested in the guitar, please stop by, browse the site (I've created many free online articles and lessons), and say hello.
Over the next few months, I'm going to redouble my efforts, and add more content to this site. Until that time, feel free to check out the archive of Canadian music transcriptions and lead sheets, and browse the online artist biographies. Thanks for visiting!
