Teardown
The second full length album by Canada based pals David Lavoie and Carson Tworow. Forging ahead in the world of jazz today, "Teardown" is a clear evolutionary path forward from their debut effort "Urban Repurpose". Inspired by the urban landscape of Western Canada, where heritage homes are rarely preserved but instead "torn down" to be replaced by the brand new and shiny. Our urban space is changing at a rapid pace, let Lavoie and Tworow present a provocative musical commentary on a complex topic.
Temps
“Jittery, jangly snippets of herky-jerky offbeat post-punk from this local four-piece give you nowhere to go but a great time getting there. Led by one-time West Coaster, songwriter David Lavoie, the collective will deliver its pandemic-influenced debut Mid Cycle this year — it’s an album that gives isolation a sound and voice.”

David Lavoie Quartet
The David Lavoie Quartet plays and records original works by David and uses standards as vehicles for improvisation live. It features Stephen Edwards on bass, Miles Wong on drums, Brad Turner on keyboard, and David on trumpet.
Urban Repurpose
Urban Repurpose is the culmination of Carson and David’s years of collaborating together as jazz artists, electronic musicians, and producers. They work collaboratively online between Calgary and Vancouver, with David handling much of the writing and instrumental performance and Carson handling drum programming, production, and synthesizers.
Chill Evans
A beat making collaboration between David Lavoie and Carson Tworow. They have produced eight beat tapes thus far sampling jazz and recording elements live. They also occasionally create original works without the use of sampling.
