SUMMARY:FERNANDA CUNHA at Jazz Bistro

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Ms. Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton
DESCRIPTION:As featured in the Oscar and GRAMMY winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom\, Ms. Lisa Fischer stepped out from behind the backing mic to take centre stage. Two GRAMMY wins later\, while still extensively touring with The Rolling Stones for nearly 30 years (yes\, she passionately belts it out in a legendary duet with Mick Jagger on Gimme Shelter)\, Fischer and her band Grand Baton have been gaining a reputation internationally for their dynamic live performances. \nTheir music is an organic gumbo of progressive rock\, psychedelic soul\, R&B and African\, Middle Eastern\, Caribbean rhythms and classical influences. In performance\, they re-invent songs by Led Zeppelin\, Little Willie John\, and of course The Rolling Stones as well as originals. After decades of also lending her vocal mastery to collaborations\, recordings and tours with Sting\, Chris Botti\, Tina Turner\, Yo Yo Ma\, Nine Inch Nails\, Luther Vandross and many more\, Ms. Lisa Fischer and Grand Baton have emerged as the most inventive and heartfelt interpreter of classic rock songs working today.

SUMMARY:Nat Cole: A King’s Centennial with Paul Marinaro and the Ben Paterson Trio
DESCRIPTION:Bravo Niagara! Festival of the Arts presents Nat Cole: A King’s Centennial with Paul Marinaro and the Ben Paterson Trio\nNathaniel Adams Cole was born in the southern United States (Montgomery\, Alabama) in 1919. From dropping out of high school in 1934 to pursue his love for music full time\, to being a champion of the Civil Rights Movement\, Nat “King” Cole will forever be remembered as one of the most celebrated and cherished jazz pianists and vocalists that we will ever see. To celebrate his centennial in 2019\, Céline Peterson (daughter of legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson) has brought together four dynamic artists to present a unique tribute in honor of Nat’s life and career. Led by vocalist Paul Marinaro\, this show delves into the repertoire of Cole’s that many have yet to discover. \nCole’s classic versions of songs we all know and love are the perfect hybrid of simple and intricate. His ability to make his execution of every performance seem almost effortless\, is what makes the planning of the ideal tribute to him even more challenging. There are certain complexities that his music requires that only select vocalists will be able to properly deliver in such a way that both captures the classic sound everyone wants to hear\, while ensuring that their own musical styles come through as well. Marinaro’s velvety baritone and lush intricacies have been wowing audiences in Chicago for over fifteen years. Says Scott Yanow of LA Jazz Scene; “Marinaro takes his place among the top five male jazz singers active today.” \nNat “King” Cole established himself first and foremost as a pianist. His “King Cole Trio” was a source of inspiration for many jazz players that followed\, including the man holding the piano chair for this show\, Philadelphia native Ben Paterson. Paterson’s swinging interpretations of tunes easily recognizable from Cole’s repertoire as well as that of Ray Charles\, Oscar Peterson\, Stevie Wonder\, have guided Ben along the path of solidifying himself as one of the top pianists currently working on the New York jazz scene. One of the greatest challenges that an artist in the jazz genre faces is ensuring that their own style takes centre stage while performing songs that many have heard (and that some would consider previously perfected). There are many layers to Ben’s talent\, but his rhythmic sensibility and impeccable time are the two that made him the first choice for this particular musical task. Downbeat Magazine says Paterson is “As soulful a pianist/organist as exists anywhere.” \nThe many firsts that Cole’s career saw for him were more than just the firsts for one man – they were the firsts for an entire race of human beings. In 1956\, NBC gave Nat his own television variety show\, which would make him the first Black man to host a show of that kind. The same year\, Cole was performing in his home state of Alabama\, when he was attacked on-stage by not one\, not two\, but six white men. The planned attack caused Cole to cancel the shows that were to follow and also left him with a back injury. At this time\, Nat was one of the highest-paid and most successful working men not just in the United States\, but globally. However during this period of deep racial tension and what (at that time) was considered to be one of the most violent times in the US\, to many he was just another colored-man taking a spot away from a white man. Through multiple run-ins with the Ku Klux Klan\, attacks\, tainted career opportunities\, and just about every obstacle you could face in the 1950s and 1960s as a person of color\, Nat still managed to not only continue performing\, but doing it better than almost anyone else to this day. \nWhile there are many wonderful tributes to Nat’s music that have taken place\, Nat Cole: A King’s Centennial honors the entire legacy of a man who spent his entire career defying odds and paving the way for countless musicians since him to be able to sing their songs in a world where they are not defined by the color of their skin\, but by the way in which they choose to utilize their talents. The excellence that Nat “King” Cole demonstrated on a daily basis lives within the hearts and souls of the musicians taking the stage for this show\, and it is a privilege to be able to share the music with those who want to listen.

SUMMARY:Two Rivers Ensemble with special guest Spiral Modes
DESCRIPTION:Join acclaimed trumpeter and composer Amir ElSaffar and his Two Rivers sextet to discover a transcendent space where musical boundaries dissolve. ElSaffar’s sonic tapestries meld Western jazz and Iraqi maqam to create a new sound that’s “hypnotic and utterly unique” (Time Out Chicago). \nAmerican-born ElSaffar learned Iraqi maqam\, a highly sophisticated system of melodic modes in classical Arabic music\, from a master of the tradition — Hamid Al-Saddi\, renowned for his commanding vocals and deep knowledge of the Baghdad repertoire. Al-Saddi will join ElSaffar on stage for a powerful performance between teacher and student. \nOpening the evening are special guests\, Spiral Modes\, a Toronto-based band led by qanun player and composer Sanaz Nakhjavani. The group formed in 2017 at the Museum following a jam session with members of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. Spiral Mode’s members originate from Iran\, Syria\, and Greece\, and their musical explorations extend past borders into the greater Middle East and Mediterranean. Rooted in improvisation\, the group creates unique experiences. \nThis show is part of our 2018/19 Performing Arts season\, The Other Side of Fear\, featuring acclaimed artists who have transcended fear through music\, dance\, and spoken word.

SUMMARY:Alex Pangman's Annual Mardi Gras Party
DESCRIPTION:If you’re recording a new EP — and your session musician suddenly warns “we’ve got one more side left\, don’t screw it up!” — you know you have an unconventional project underway. This is the exhilarating and creative scenario Canadian jazz and swing songbird (and JUNO Award nominee) Alex Pangman found herself in for her ambitious and unique special project\, Hot Three\, and its long unprecedented use of blank acetate as a recording medium. \nThat’s right\, direct to 78rpm acetate disc. On her 2017 EP for Justin Time “Alex Pangman’s Hot Three”\, she goes further backwards in time to discover why early jazz recordings have the special sound and energy that they do. In this artistic journey\, and with 3 minutes to cut a tune while the groove was cut in real-time before the musician’s eyes live\, the singer came to understand both the inspiration behind the hot recordings of early jazz\, and also some of the mindset of early recording pioneers\, and the energy it produced.  \nAnnual Mardi Gras party featuring Alex Pangman’s Alleycats & Red Hot Ramble happens on March 5! \nDinner reservations guarantees seating.  Advance names will be on list at the door. General Admission available\, too
