The New Breed was together from 1966 to 1978, off and on,  with a number of changes.  They were one the house bands at Diamond Jim's in Vancouver for about 18 months between 1969 and 1971.  They recorded for the CBC with a 1/2 radio show and an album featuring BJ Cook who went from New Breed to form Skylark with her soon to be husband David Foster.  The later version of New Breed again was fortunate enough to have long house gigs for periods of 3 months to a year or so, then it was off to Hawaii and Japan where they played 7 nights a week.  They returned to the Vancouver club scene with an extended stay at the "Coach House" and a change of name and direction.  It was my extreme pleasure to perform with some of Vancouver's finest talent during those years.
