Jon Freer, pitchadjust.com May 2002 "Page's music owes as much to jazz, hip hop or even folk as it does to the legacy of Chicago or Detroit. A sonically-absorbing audio immersion experience."

The Low-pro don of deepish house recently played two stand-out live performances in Vancouver. May 9th on opening night of Vancouver's own New Music West Gavin brought the house down with fellow label-mate Morgan Page at the NT showcase at Sonar. More recently he opened for Norwegian jazzbo Bugge Wesseltoft June 21at the Commodore Ballroom for the opening night of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. The controversial gig included the addition of 4 live musicians for the second portion of the his set. While the dancefloor was clearly feelin' Mr. Froome, a local 'alternative' paper dismissed his performance because "what we got was more like the smell of jazz than anything of substance"; lucky for Gavin he was working on the smell of Burt Bacharach. Look for Gavin live this summer at Spundae (Los Angeles, CA) July 20, the Zen Festvial (Hope, BC) July 27 and Gravity Systems Festival (Montpelier, FR) August 16-18. Listen for the music of Gavin Froome: 'Bostonian' from Post+Beam was recently licensed to cult tv show 'Queer as Folk'. The episode originally aired June 16 in the US on Showtime and June 17 in Canada on Showcase, and will appear on repeat broadcast over the summer. Despite the bit above, Gavin has been receiving some great press as of late, check out this feature which ran recently in Vancouver's Westender: here. ------------------------------------------- CAT: NT028-CD/2LP ARTIST: Various Artists TITLE: Button-Down Beats RELEASE: FALL 2002 An original downtempo compilation from the NT massive, includes new material from regulars Gavin Froome, Scott Findley, Tom Churchill, Jon Delerious and Morgan Page as well as exclusive tracks from up & coming producers in Mexico, Finland & Germany.
