Juno award nomination for
"Where Old Friends Meet."

Scarlett, Washington & Whiteley
Three outstanding individuals in the world of folk, blues, and swing, Mose Scarlett, Jackie Washington, and Ken Whiteley have created a magical combination, both on recordings and in live concert performances. They began a loose association in the late eighties, working on a recording which eventually emerged as the Juno-nominated album "Where Old Friends Meet." While they have continued with their significant individual careers, both audiences and the performers themselves cherish the warm, often humorous, and always musical time they spend on stage together.

In 1995 they recorded a three-CD boxed set titled "Three by Three" which Grammy- winning music critic Rob Bowman cited as "the best roots recording of the year" on CBC radio. The set consisted of an individual CD by each artists with contributions by all three on each others discs. In 1998 the album "Midnight Choo Choo," featuring Jackie in a variety of settings from solo to big band, received such accolades as "an utter delight" by Living Blues magazine.

1999 has already been eventful. Jackie Washington received the "Blues With a Feeling Award" for a lifetime of outstanding contributions to the blues community. Mose Scarlett completed his 6th highly successful tour of Great Britain. Ken Whiteley saw his production work receive Juno nominations for the 7th straight year and a second Grammy nomination. As a trio they performed in concerts throughout Ontario and in Manitoba. They are looking forward to returning to Alberta and to their first appearances as a trio on the West Coast. And to top it off, their brand new album "We’ll Meet Again," featuring live concert appearances of the trio, has just been released.

They have over 125 years of playing experience between the three of them and still have a lot more love and great songs to share.
