"Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the New York trip, it was one of the best jazz trips I've been on, and I've been on a few. The people were a great mix of personalities, of diverse jazz tastes, who just seem to come together for the benefit of the music. I thought you did a great job including us, as your extended family"
"Huge thanks for a truly fantastic trip. I'm still coming down from it, as I told my driver when heading to the airport, "I don't want to go home, I'm not ready to!" You were a wonderful host embodying the two qualities most required, a sense of humour and an easy going attitude which set the tone for the group."

Turner Music and Events works closely throughout the year with Vancouver's finest and most intimate live music venue, the Cellar Restaurant and Jazz Club, and with Vancouver's Cellar Live record Label. The Cellar Live Label was founded in 2001 by musician/producer/jazz club owner Cory Weeds. When Weeds purchased The Cellar Restaurant and Jazz Club in August 2000, he immediately started assembling some recording gear to preserve the incredible music that was being performed on stage every night.
Their catalogue now boasts over 45 records. 2007 was a banner year for the label. Cellar Live won "Label of the Year" for the national Jazz Awards. Jodi Proznick's "Foundations" won "Album of the Year" and "Acoustic Group of the Year". "Foundations" was also nominated for a JUNO award.
All of Cellar Live's releases have received fabulous reviews and the label has established itself as one of the country's finest producers of jazz music.
