about

Melody Diachun is an artist with a penchant for pairing atypical material with improvising musicians. "Sumner's Tales: The Music Of Sting" is a bold next step in her adventure.

Born Gordon Sumner, Sting is one of the greatest living songwriters. Melody remains faithful to the essence of the songs while the soloists roam free. Soundscapes and grooves run the gamut from lush to bombastic.

MELODY DIACHUN is a celebrated vocalist, songwriter, and a JUNO and National Jazz Awards nominee. "She is—and will always be—a force to reckon with in contemporary vocal music." - Toronto Music Report

DAVID RESTIVO is one of Canada's most respected jazz artists and a three-time winner of the National Jazz Awards' Pianist of the Year. His album "Arancina" (Chronograph Records) was nominated for Jazz Group of the Year at the 2022 JUNOs.

MICHAEL OCCHIPINTI is a versatile, sound-sculpting guitarist and composer/arranger. He has spent decades flowing between jazz, chamber and world music, funk, and R&B. Michael is a 9-time JUNO nominee. He won the 2022 JUNO Award for Jazz Group of the Year as a member of
Avataar.

DOUG STEPHENSON is a veteran of Western Canada's music community. He is bassist, guitarist, composer, producer, and mixing engineer. He has performed with myriad artists including Charlie Rouse, Les McCann, Jay Thomas, and Tommy Banks.

TONY FERRARO is a diverse, musical drummer, and winner of percussionist of the Year award at Humber College. He is an exciting player, always bringing his passion and intensity to the music.
