	Canadian Film Institute • Institut canadien du film
		A native of London, Ontario, Jack Chambers was born in 1931.
		Then there is The Hart of London (1968-70), Chambers’; 80-minute fluid filmic palimpsest of memory, desire, and history which explores the interconnectedness of life and death, time and the body, and the history of London, Ontario, through a series of multi-layered images, sounds, and silences.
		What remains compelling about Chambers’; work, something alluded to in many essays in the book, is the creative tension that exists in his attempts to find a mode of representation to identify and affirm a Canadian sense of time.

		t 20 years of age, vibraphonist Jack Patton and drummer Nick Collins are two very talented young musicians who are nobly living the "jazz dilemma".
		The music they have recorded here is, at the same time, a successful attempt at staying true to the bebop/hard bop tradition as well as an effort to bring their own developing musical personalities to the cannon.
		Patton & Collins approach is, on occasion, reminiscent of Bobby Hutcherson & Joe Chambers 1960s Blue Note output, while at the same time they are obviously reaching for something new.
