Apart
from appearing in just about every club in the Toronto
area (House of Hambourg, Cellar, 1st Floor, Towne Tavern,
Colonial Tavern, Top O’ the Senator, Montreal Bistro,
George’s Spaghetti House, Bourbon Street…just
to name a few), he has also traveled all over the world
with various artists, appearing in Birdland, New York,
The Blue Note in Chicago, Baker’s Keyboard Lounge
in Detroit, Festivals in Europe, and tours in Egypt, Nigeria,
Scotland, Ireland, Antigua, and many other locations too
numerous to mention.
Archie
practically gave up playing for a short time to become
a co-owner of a remarkable soul food restaurant in the
70’s (The Underground Railroad), but soon came back
to his first love – music – and began to appear
on Television with other jazz artists. This led to some
acting roles and eventually producing some shows.
He
was both a player and consultant in a 1994 video documentary,
“It Ain’t All Jazz” produced by Inner City
Films and co-produced by JoJo Chinto and featuring three
of Canada’s most prolific Afro Canadian musicians:
Wray Downes, Sonny Greenwich, and Archie Alleyne.
