Welcome to the Dione Taylor newsletter!

Soular Productions is proud to release the first official Dione Taylor newsletter. We'll be publishing our newsletter regularly with news, tour updates, and special offers from Dione.

Dione and her quartet performed to a packed house crowd at the All-Canadian Jazz Festival in Port Hope Ontario. Check out the exciting line up at www.allcanadianjazz.ca for this wonderful weekend of jazz.

Alumni Dione Taylor has been nominated to represent Humber College for the Premiers Award for recent graduates of Ontario. This award presented annually honors the important social and economic contributions graduates make to Ontario. These nominees demonstrate career success related to their college experience as well as a significant contribution to their community.

Dione is currently in the studio recording her sophomore album with legendary pianist, organist and producer Doug Riley. This exciting new recording, set to be released in the spring of 2006, features guest appearances by world-renowned jazz artists such as Benny Green and saxophone giant Pat LaBarbera. Look for a sneak preview of new tracks on Dione's website www.dionetaylor.com in the near future.
