2006
March - We record our second demo and it rocks (can you say that in
jazz? : - ) ). You are probably listening to a clip now.
July - On
the 18th of this month, CARAVANE played the Bayou for a 4th time. Nothing special
you might say. However, on the morning of that day, the owner of the building
changed the locks because of rent unpaid. The show went on anyway and will go
down into the legend of CARAVANE. A real life case of "the show must go on".
Ask us about it!

to improves. This month we added a new pianist, Daniel Boucher; two new trumpeters,
Frédéric Paci and Caroline Fillion; and saxophonist, Pete Pereira.
