SUMMARY:Omara Portuondo at TD Toronto Jazz Festival
DESCRIPTION:Buena Vista Social Club™ Diva celebrates her music and life with a special tour accompanied by special guests \nWhile other much loved Buena Vista stars like Ruben Gonzalez and Ibrahim Ferrer were lured out of retirement. Omara has been continually performing in public since the age 15\, a legendary singer whose voice reflects a long\, creative life of passion and music. She has been singing professionally for an incredible 70 years\, and while revolutions and wars shook the globe\, she has carried on\, with indomitable elegance. \nThe best way to celebrate Omara’s musical career? A very special worldwide tour which will include some exceptional invited guests. The great Cuban diva and artistic ambassador of her country wants to celebrate with a grand fiesta which represents the impressive sweep of her career – on every stop meeting with old friends and new to perform together much loved Cuban classics from ‘Besame Mucho’ to ‘Veinte Años’. The tour will reflect different aspects of her long career\, taking it way back to her younger years and her continuing love of elegant cabaret\, from the Buena Vista days right up to the present with different tastes and flavours\, of what will be a musical feast\, full of piquant sabrosura. \nProducer Ry Cooder said about the Buena Vista Social Club musicians\, that he was lucky\, as we all are to “have caught the tail end of a comet” of a great music culture that was cut off for decades. \nOmara Portuondo is a diva in the best sense\, an ambassador of Cuba to the world. Now in her mid-eighties\, there is a sense in which the curtains of an era are slowly\, elegantly coming down. But she will forever\, as the old show business adage has it “Always leave them wanting more.”

SUMMARY:ADI BRAUN SINGS DORIS DAY Live at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:ONE NIGHT ONLY! Join Adi Braun as she takes you on a Sentimental Journey through the musical life of the quintessential “girl next door”\, Doris Day! Adi brings her signature vocals to such Day classics as “Secret Love”\, “Pillow Talk and “It’s Magic”.\nBacked by Tom King\, piano\, Jordan O’Connor\, bass\, and Daniel Barnes\, drums\, this is a “mustn’t miss” evening of Doris Day’s swinging hits\, toe-tapping classics and luscious ballads. Hop on the “Deadwood Stage” as Adi takes you down Doris Day memory lane. \nAdi Braun’s sophisticated style and subtle delivery evokes such vocal greats as Sarah Vaughan\, Lotte Lenya\, Judy Garland and Rosemary Clooney. Elizabeth Ahlfors of New York’s Cabaret Scenes describes Adi as\, “A tad Dinah Washington\, a hint of Lena Horne\, the enveloping warmth of Doris Day\, all gift-wrapped up in a unique sound that is singular Adi Braun!” Adi’s repertoire ranges from the Great American Songbook\, to European cabaret\, to contemporary songs by Canada legend’s Shirley Eikhard and Gordon Lightfoot as well as her own originals. Whether she is singing in English\, French\, Spanish or German\, Adi Braun is “a power-frau who gives jazz standards a unique touch\, telling stories that are miniature life moments” (Rheinische Post\, Düsseldorf\, Germany). \nBorn in Toronto\, Adi Braun grew up in Europe surrounded by music and musicians. Her parents were opera singers\, and her father\, Victor Braun\, was one of Canada’s leading baritones. Her first instrument was piano\, which she began studying at the age of six. With no formal voice lessons\, she made her first pop/jazz recording at age 19. Following family tradition\, Adi trained classically at the Royal Conservatory of Music and the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music. She began her singing career as a classical recitalist\, a soloist with orchestra and on-stage in operas and operettas alongside her brother\, baritone Russell Braun. In addition to her many musical roles\, Adi teaches German art song at the Royal Conservatory of Music and is a German diction coach for the Canadian Opera Company. \nAdi started “singing sideways” in the late ‘90s and returned to the music she loves – which she calls “cabarazz” – drawing on aspects from both cabaret and jazz. After winning a local competition in 2001\, she was catapulted to centre-stage as one of Canada’s leading jazz vocalists. In 2007\, Adi was nominated as Best Major Jazz Vocalist of the Year by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs (MAC).

She is consider the most successful recording artist and entertainer of all time. President Obama said “she exudes glamour & grace\, her influence is inescapable” as he presented her with a Medal of Freedom Award\, the most prestigious award given to a U.S. citizen. \nBeyond the fabled journey and legendary successes\, Diana Ross considers her greatest accomplishment to be that of raising her five children. Seeing them flourish and becoming successful adults in each of their chosen fields\, she remains the nucleus of a solid family that has expanded and gifted her five beautiful grandchild. \nThe dream began as a young girl on the North End section of Detroit. In a city that she would help to create a cultural movement of racial integration and popular music call\, Motown (a portmanteau of Motor and Town). Her journey has inspired and empowered countless\, celebrities\, musicians\, artists and young dreamers. A youthful Oprah Winfrey has said that Ms Ross “represented hope\nfor me\, she was my role model\, magical to me.” \nAs the dream became a legacy\, her influence touched music\, fashion\, stage\, film and TV. \nRoss’ international achievements were acknowledged by the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in Washington DC (2007). The honor celebrated her lustrous career of excellence in music\, film\, television and theatre\, as well as her cultural influences\, humanitarian work and her contributions to American culture. The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences celebrated her remarkable\ncareer with its highest honor\, The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012. \nHer portrayal of Billie Holliday in the classic film\, “Lady Sings the Blues” resulted in an Oscar nomination and a trophy at the The Golden Globe Awards. Co-starring as an aspiring designer in the 1975 romantic comedy\, Mahogany\, Ross felt the role lent the perfect opportunity to personally sketch and design all the fashion in the timeless film. \nAs a stage actress\, she won Broadway’s top honor with a Tony Award for her one-woman show\, “An Evening with Diana Ross.” The same show was later broadcast as a special on television. From her landmark solo career to the early days as the leader of The Supremes Diana Ross shaped the sound of popular music\, changing the landscape and paving way to contemporary music.\nHer voice\, described as “honey with soulful sensibility\,” produced 14 Top ten albums\, 18 #1 songs and music sales exceeding 100 millions units around the world. The latest in a string of #1s includes a new remix of the 1971 classic\, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough 2017” which topped the Billboard Dance Club Chart this year. \nIn 2017\, the American Music Awards presented Ms Ross with the Lifetime Acheivement Award. In1993\, she earned a Guinness World Record for her success in the United States and United Kingdom by having more hits than any other female artist on the charts with a career total of 70 hit singles. Career milestones include induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame\, The Songwriters Hall of Fame\, National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences Hero Award\, NAACP Entertainer Award\, Billboard’s Female Entertainer of the Century Award\, The Soul Train Legend Award\, two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and will received the American Music Awards Lifetime Achievement Award in November 2017. And Ross is also one of the few celebrities to have two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.\nOn July 21\, 1983\, Diana Ross drew a crowd of over 800\,000 people to New York’s Central Park\, one of the biggest audiences in history for a live concert. Soon after the show began\, pouring rain and heavy wind threatened to put an end to the show\, but she pushed on for much of the set\, urging the drenched crowd to remain calm and stay with her. Eventually the storm put an end to the performance\, but not before she promised her fans that she would return the next day. True to her word\, she performed the entire concert again on July 22nd for the people of New York City. \nHer love for life\, her never-ending wonder\, her appreciation of goals and achievements and her sheer human spirit define the icon that is Diana Ross.

SUMMARY:JESSICA LALONDE Live at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Lalonde has spent her life exploring music in all its shades and facets. Raised on Country and Rock & Roll\, she fell for jazz during her formative years. Lalonde began singing around her hometown of Midland in small jazz duos and trios\, and for her local Big Band. Eventually the clarity and strength of her voice led her into serious vocal study and she obtained an Honours Bachelor of Music Degree in Performance from Wilfrid Laurier University. She excelled in her studies\, winning a performance scholarship\, several prestigious concerto competitions\, and holding the title roles in the University’s opera productions. A very pivotal moment for Lalonde was when she discovered Billie Holiday. “I literally became obsessed with her and then my musical voyage emerged from there\,” she says. She also immersed herself in the music of other dynamic female artists such as Ella Fitzgerald\, Jo Stafford\, Helen Forrest and Nina Simone. \nAfter graduating she recorded a solo album of jazz and big ­band hits produced by jazz veteran Bill King. The album Spinning Daydreams\, features some of Canada’s finest and most sought after musicians including Kevin Breit (Norah Jones\, kd lang\, Cassandra Wilson)\, Davide DiRenzo (Jacksoul\, Sophie Milman\, Tomi Swick)\, Duncan Hopkins (Diana Krall\, Mark Murphy\, Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass) and Ann Lindsay (Blue Rodeo\, Dionne Warwick\, The Chieftans). \nFollowing the production and touring of this project\, Lalonde continued to explore and hone her instrument by delving into Bel canto singing under the guidance of Metropolitan soprano Aprile Millo\, and in 2015 she had the privilege of performing in Italy alongside Ms. Millo for a series of concerts benefitting the Museo and Comittato Renata Tebaldi\, the Amici delle case di Puccini\, and Villa Verdi. While there\, she was also honoured to work with legendary Conductor Maestro Richard Bonynge.

SUMMARY:SIMONE MORRIS “BIRTHDAY” TRIO Live at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:SIMONE MORRIS “BIRTHDAY” TRIO: featuring Adrean Farrugia (piano) and Mike Freedman (guitar) \nAfter 10 years playing the jazz circuit\, vocalist Simone Morris opted to dig deeper into writing with her long-time guitarist Mike Freedman. Her all-original album “Settling Up” (featuring Canadian treasures Adrean Farrugia on piano\, William Sperandei on trumpet and Bill McBirnie on flute) was released November 2018\, debuting at #1 on the iTunes Canada Jazz Chart. Since its release it has received extensive airplay\, accolades\, and in-depth interviews and reviews. \nSimone’s innate musicality was evident at an early age beginning in classical piano at age 6. Realizing young that music was an outlet for expression of emotion\, it became an integral part of who she was as a person. Mature interpretive and technical abilities caught the attention of her teachers and she was deemed an outstanding natural talent. With an array of performance and musical direction experience under her belt from youth\, she went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music from York University\, studying contemporary improvisation with Casey Sokol. She discovered her voice as a member of\, and soloist in\, the University’s Jazz Choir (“Wibijazz’n’”)\, under the direction of Andrew Craig. For Simone\, the sheer joy of singing was so profound that she re-focussed and began a lifelong path as a vocalist. \nKnown for soulful takes on life and love\, she draws on the early influence of Ray Charles\, Etta James\, Aretha Franklin & Joni Mitchell\, alongside her favourite women in jazz – Billie Holliday\, Sarah Vaughan\, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone. Yet she has carved her own way on the jazz scene with a unique timbre\, a natural sultry allure\, and an honest raw connection to music evident in her every note. She treats her audience to a refreshingly ‘dig-deep’ kind of conversation\, all the while serenading the room in her velvety sweet-vibes.

SUMMARY:STEPHANIE TRICK AND PAOLO ALDERIGHI Live at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:Stephanie Trick “has come to practically dominate the stride piano field\,” notes reviewer Jack Rummel. Harlem stride piano\, which developed in the 1920s and ’30s\, is an orchestral style of two-handed piano playing that not only swings\, but is also technically demanding and exciting to watch. Louis Mazetier\, a respected interpreter of this genre\, writes in the Bulletin of the Hot Club of France that she has “won the esteem of specialists in the genre with wonderful interpretations of stride classics\, James P. Johnson\, Fats Waller\, and Don Lambert (which she learned by ear). She plays these pieces with a punch that is matched by her precise interpretation.”

SUMMARY:MATT HERSKOWITZ CD RELEASE: “MIRROR IMAGE”
DESCRIPTION:Uniquely combining the superlative technique of a classical virtuoso with his prowess in jazz\, world music and free improvisation\, pianist\, composer and arranger Matt Herskowitz has carved out a unique and personal voice in music. Over the course of the last decade\, Matt has produced a series of critically-acclaimed recordings\, premiered his works in settings from New York’s Central Park to Germany’s Köln Philharmonie\, collaborated with top classical\, jazz and pop artists\, and has performed at music festivals across the globe. \nOf his upcoming 2019 solo piano release Mirror Image Matt says: “I feel that this album finally brings together ‘my’ classical and jazz sides\, both old and new\, in a very organic way. Whether it’s through pieces such as Tribute to John Coates\, the Ravel Concerto or Satie’s Gnossienne no. 1\, it’s all one cohesive sound\, one style coming from two worlds that seem opposed but are not; Classical and Jazz have cross- pollinated since the early 20th century\, and their musical histories have reflected that mutual inspiration ever since.”

SUMMARY:FERNANDA CUNHA at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:Brazilian singer Fernanda Cunha (based in Rio de janeiro)\, has been a regular performer in Canada since 2005. She has performed coast-to-coast-to-coast: from Vancouver Island and the Vancouver International Jazz Festival (several years)\, to the Alianait Arts Festival in Nunavut and Jazz Yukon series; from the Edmonton International Jazz Festival to the University of Toronto and other venues. She also has presented clinics/workshops at Mohawk College in Hamilton(Ontario) with Pat Collins trio and at Camthra Secondary School in Mississauga(Ontario)\, and a 1 week residency performing concerts at long-term care facilities as well as in local schools(kindergarten through secondary) in Qualicum Beach(BC) as part of the Harvest of Music Festival. \nIn 2009\, she explored the musical affinities between Canada and Brazil with her fourth album\, appropriately entitled “Brasil Canada” featuring songwriters and musicians from both countries. It’s no secret that\, although Brazil is Fernanda’s homeland and she performs at jazz festivals all over the world\, Canada is her heart´s country. \nFernanda has toured in the most important jazz festivals in the world such as Wien Jazz (Austria)\, Jazz a Juan (France)\, Jazz al fin (Argentina)\, Borneo Jazz (Malaysia)\, among others. She is also member of the Latin Grammy awards since 2007 and she takes part of the Brazilian board held in Miami once a year. \nIn 2017 she recorded her 7th album of career\, “Jobim 90” dedicated to the most important Brazilian songwriter: Antonio Carlos Jobim. Jobim (who would be 90 in 2017) left hundreds of wonderful tunes but Fernanda has chosen to record the songs he wrote melody and lyrics. Repertoire includes “waters of march”\, “samba do avião”\, “triste”\, “chovendo na roseira” and others less recorded like “Angela”\, “Passarim”\, “Ana Luiza” and the unique “Two kites”(written in English by Jobim) and here with arrangement of the Toronto guitarist Reg Schwager. \nIn 2018 Fernanda produced the CD of the composer Sueli Costa\, that was a live recording with her on some vocals plus another singer\, Aurea Martins \nIn 2019 Fernanda is releasing the CD “Fernanda Cunha canta Filó Machado”. Filó is a unique brazilian songwriter with a colourful repertoire. Fernanda features her band including Ze Carlos\, on guitar\, Camilla Dias on piano\, Berval Moraes no bass\, helbe Machado on drums and Reg Schwager.

SUMMARY:Alfredo Rodríguez & Pedrito Martinez
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-nominated artists Alfredo Rodríguez and Pedrito Martinez first worked together on Alfredo’s 2012 release Invasion Parade. Since that initial recording session they have had the rare occasion to perform together as a duo\, leaving audiences completely mesmerized by their fearless and virtuosic playing. \nEach artist brings a different approach to the collaboration. A protege of Quincy Jones\, who took him under his wing when he defected to the US in 2009\, Alfredo was schooled in the rigorous classical conservatories of Havana. His riveting artistry is informed as much by Bach and Stravinsky as it is by his Afro Cuban and jazz roots. Pedrito’s musical training came directly from the streets of the Cayo Hueso neighborhood of Old Havana in which he was raised and he has subsequently performed with artists such as Sting\, Paul Simon\, and Wynton Marsalis. \nTogether\, these two master musicians take listeners on a unique and exciting journey.
