Bruce Cassidy is a leading composer, arranger and one of the foremost proponents of the Electronic Valve Instrument (EVI). He recently returned to his native Toronto after an extended sojourn in South Africa.

His performing interest is focused on his Hotfoot Orchestra, a group of 10 extremely talented musicians who can be heard making amazing and audacious jazz in and around Toronto.

Bruce is musical director for David Clayton-Thomas and has created new arrangements to bring a fresh sound to the compositions that David recorded during the Blood Sweat and Tears days. The first fruit of Bruce's collaboration with David is the album "David Clayton-Thomas, A Musical Biography" which has just been released.
