Peter HumBorn and raised in Ottawa, Canada, Peter is a mainstay of the city's jazz community.There, he has shared stages with such leading Canadian musicians as Roddy Ellias, Mike Rud, Kenji Omae, Nathan Cepelinski, Alec Walkington and John Geggie.Ordinary Heroes, released 18 October 20191.

Ordinary HeroesCrises and Reckonings: A song for turbulent times when scandal follows scandal. Let's hope that after all the bedlam, we come out right side up.Cassandra: In Greek mythology, she was cursed to utter prophecies that were true but that no one believed. This song is for everyone who saw it coming.Fake News Blues: A protest against alternative facts and disinformation, and a shout-out to the truth-tellers.Nebulous Compensation: A song about trading away the environment for profit, plenty and convenience. A bossa nova about the end of the world, you might say.Rabble Rouser: A protest against demagoguery, written when a certain dotard was merely running for office. The song has only grown more timely as the politics of division and resentment has spread.Embers: In late 2016, it felt as if the flames of progress had been almost extinguished. This song looks forward to those embers catching fire.Tears for the Innocent: This song was written after six worshippers were shot to death at the Islamic Culture Centre of Quebec City on Jan. 29, 2017. Since then, the senseless massacres – Las Vegas, Parkland, Toronto, Pittsburgh, Christchurch and on and on – have persisted, as have our tears. Spare Hearts: A song in support of resilience and compassion.Safe Passage: A song inspired in 2015 by the plight of Syrian refugees, but since then equally dedicated to displaced peoples from Latin America, Myanmar and elsewhere.Ordinary Heroes: After the 2016 US election, George Takei, recalling the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War, wrote: "Even in the darkest of times, there were so many ordinary heroes who gave us hope and succor. It is they whom I remember most today. It was they who helped change things for the better."
