Bios: In The Mood For Jazz was written and created by Patrick Costello and Graham Cuthbertson with the help of Angela Galuppo and The Buck Wheaton Trio. This show was first performed at an offsite during the Montreal Jazz Festival, then held over at The Centaur Theatre's Wildside festival and was featured in a ten performance run at the Zoofest comedy and performance festival. The show is an ever changing, often surprising, tour-de-farce. The musicians are all world class performers who can be seen performing in Montreal and across Canada and the world. In 2010 Angela Galuppo received her B.F.A with Great Distinction, Specialization in Jazz Studies, from Concordia University and was the recipient of the 2007 Dr. Oscar Peterson Jazz Scholarship for performance. Her latest project, St. Ange, and her debut album Second Nature on which she takes her shiny new self-producing/lyricist/composer tricycle out for a ride is available now on iTunes. Patrick Costello and Graham Cuthbertson are both founding members of Montreal's SideMart Theatrical grocery and have been seen on stages and television screens in many English speaking countries.

Media: Paul Flicker the Artistic Producer of the Segal Centre for Performing Arts wrote: "Part lounge singer. Part comic. Part self-annihilating, nihilistic genius. Dick Powell is back in town. He and his group - the top notch Buck Wheaton Trio - performed friday night along with three special guests at the Wiggle Room. The funniest musical performance you may ever see. Not to be missed.
Pat Donnelly of the Montreal Gazette wrote: "(In The Mood For Jazz) is a essentially a brilliant spoof of a '50s style lounge act Every song is a send-up but there's ample musical satisfaction blended with the laughs."
Bloodyunderrated.com wrote: "In The Mood for Jazz is a perfect satire of old-time jazz performances and a great mockery of comeback shows. Featuring an impressive set list of mixed originals and classics, this show promises to deliver a bunch of great music and barrels of laughter. I cannot stress this point enough if you've got a musical bone in your body and you love to laugh, then go see this show."
Also this lovely bit from julianhaber.com: "Last night a friend treated me to one of the best shows I've seen in years. Dick Powell's In the Mood For Jazz which is giving its final performance at Cafe Cleopatra tonight has all the makings of an instant classic. Perfect pacing, extreme talent, a beautiful singer with a buttery smooth voice and wickedly witty writing.
