SUMMARY:TOMSON HIGHWAY AND PATRICIA CANO: SONGS IN THE KEY OF CREE Live at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:“In The (Post) Mistress\, you see Highway’s idea of beauty – a Peruvian-Canadian from Northern Ontario singing to a Brazilian beat in an indigenous language. It is a beautiful vision.” — J. Kelly Nestruck (Globe and Mail Review\, Oct. 21st\, 2016) \n“English is so hierarchical. In Cree\, we don’t have animate-inanimate comparisons between things. Animals have souls that are equal to ours. Rocks have souls\, trees have souls. Trees are ‘who\,’ not ‘what.” – Tomson Highway \nSongs in the Key of Cree is a compilation of songs written over the past thirty years by Cree-Canadian playwright/ songwriter/pianist Tomson Highway. The songs in the show are taken from five of his musicals – Rose\, The Incredible Adventures of Mary Jane Mosquito\, The (Post) Mistress\, The Sage\, the Dancer\, and the Fool and his latest new musical as yet to be titled. \nWhat makes the songs unique is their Cree lyrics – and playfulness! Cree is the most spoken Native language in Canada today\, and many of Canada’s most well-known place names are of Cree origin including Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, Saskatoon\, Saskatchewan\, Chicoutimi\, Quebec and Ottawa. Cree is a very rhythmic language that lends itself very naturally to music and music-making\, and the style of the music is “cabaret.” Think Cole Porter and Kurt Weill…with Cree\, English\, French and even Spanish lyrics! (Mr. Highway is tri-lingual in Cree\, his mother tongue\, and French and English.) \nThe songs will be sung by extraordinary Peruvian-Canadian cabaret singer\, Patricia Cano\, accompanied by jazz saxophonist Marcus Ali\, and by Tomson Highway himself on the piano. \nWriter\, Composer and Musician Tomson Highway was born in a snow bank on the Manitoba/Nunavut border to a family of nomadic caribou hunters. He had the great privilege of growing up in two languages: Cree\, his mother tongue\, and Dene\, the language of the neighbouring nation\, a people with whom they travelled and hunted. His parents\, with no access to books\, television or radio\, would tell their children stories\, and Tomson fell in love with the oral tradition of storytelling. When he was six\, he was taken from his family and placed in residential school. Although he resented being taken away from his parents\, he did learn music\, and had plans to become a concert pianist. \nTomson enjoys an international career as playwright\, novelist\, pianist\, and songwriter. His critically acclaimed works include the plays The Rez Sisters\, Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing\, Rose\, Ernestine Shuswap Gets her Trout and the best-selling novel Kiss of the Fur Queen. For many years\, Tomson ran Canada’s premiere Native theatre company Native Earth Performing Arts (based in Toronto)\, out of which emerged an entire generation of professional Indigenous playwrights\, actors and many Native theatre companies in Canada. \nTomson Highway’s many awards include the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best New Play and Best Production (three wins\, five nominations)\, the Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama (two nominations)\, the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award (two wins)\, winning the Toronto Arts Award (for outstanding contributions made over the years to the City of Toronto cultural industries)\, the Wang Harbourfront International Festival of Authors Award\, the Silver Ticket Award (from the Dora Mavor Moore Awards\, for outstanding contributions made over the years to the Toronto theatre industry)\, the National Aboriginal Achievement Award (2001)\, and the Order of Canada (1994).

SUMMARY:JUDITH LANDER Live at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:Judith Lander is a consummate interpreter of cabaret’s finest offerings. Her repertoire ranges from pop to Broadway\, with the likes of Stephen Sondheim\, to classical cabaret including Kurt Weil and Jacques Brel\, with a sprinkling of jazz. \n“My music is very emotionally driven\, as well as musically driven\, because I have been a singer for 50 years\,” says the singer\, composer and actor. She has performed on Broadway and in other major North American cities in the original hit production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris\, culminating with a memorable performance with Brel himself at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall. \n“I have quite a background of music\, so it is about connecting and reaching the hearts of the audience. It’s very important to me to do that. There are a lot of singers these days who are imitations of imitations. They are not really connected as much to the musical lyrics as they should be\, and I feel audiences today really hunger for that\,” says the Winnipeg native who now lives in Oakville\, Ont. \n“Cabaret is an eclectic combination of music that is either political\, emotional or humorous\, and it is coming back because people are tired of the sterility that’s out there. Usually songs that have a personal bent have more emotional nutrition and people need that right now.” \nLander\, who is respected as a composer\, most notably for compositions for ballet\, including Diary\, which has been performed by the National Ballet of Canada\, the Hubbard Street Company of Chicago and the American Ballet Theater\, recently released an acclaimed recording of songs she has sung on stages across the world entitled “In My Life.” \nThe 65-year-old has made a remarkable comeback\, having retired from cabaret performance in her 50s. “What is amazing to me is that I’m in my 60s and I still sing really well\, and that\, to me\, is an amazing gift\,” Lander says. “If you are trained properly\, there’s no reason why you can’t maintain a lot of your voice\, but you will lose a certain amount of your range\, or it will shift. For me\, I go a little lower with my range\, but there were songs that I couldn’t have done before\, like September Song – but I was too young to do it – or Carousel by Brel that goes faster and faster and is quite mad at the end\, and when I was young\, it was extremely difficult to maintain the song. Now that I’m older\, I can handle it much better because of experience\, the [richer] interpretations and the power that I have at this age.”

SUMMARY:Cécile McLorin Salvant at TD Toronto Jazz Festival

Having nearly missed the submission deadline\, she made it to the finals as their youngest performer and was selected by an illustrious panel of judges – Dee Dee Bridgewater\, Dianne Reeves\, Kurt Elling\, Patti Austin\, and Al Jarreau – as the 2010 Thelonious Monk Competition winner. While she had bypassed the traditional U.S. conservatories and jazz schools\, McLorin Salvant studied at France’s Aix-en-Provence before returning for the competition’s semi-finals\, the judges noted her remarkable voice and striking ability to inhabit the emotional space of every song she heard and turn it into a compelling statement. \nIn 2013\, McLorin Salvant made her Mack Avenue Records debut with WomanChild\, garnering a GRAMMY® Award-nomination\, NPR Music’s pick for “Best Jazz Vocal Album of the Year\,” and three placements in DownBeat’s critic’s poll as “Jazz Album of the Year\,” “Top Female Vocalist\,” and “Best Female Jazz Up and Coming Artist of the Year\,” among many other accolades. Her 2015 follow up release\, For One To Love\, won the GRAMMY® Award for “Best Jazz Vocal Album.” \nMcLorin Salvant’s music has been featured in multiple Chanel “Chance” campaigns and is included in the soundtrack for HBO’s acclaimed film\, Bessie. New York Times Magazine included her recording of “Trolley Song” as one of “25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music Is Going\,” The New Yorker profiled her at age 27\, Vanity Fair featured her in their “Millennials That Are Shaking Up The Jazz World” piece\, Essence Magazine noted her as one of “13 Emerging Black Women in Music\,” and Gilles Peterson included her as an “Artist to Watch” in The Atlantic. Learn more about McLorin Salvant on NPR’s “All Things Considered” and “Fresh Air\,” New York Times’ “Close at Hand\,” or watch her perform on BBC’s “Later… with Jools Holland” and PBS’ “The Tavis Smiley Show.” \nSullivan Fortner\nLauded as one of the top jazz pianists of his generation\, Sullivan Fortner is recognized for his virtuosic technique and captivating performances. The winner of three prestigious awards – a Leonore Annenberg Arts Fellowship\, the 2015 Cole Porter Fellowship from the American Pianists Association\, and the 2016 Lincoln Center Award for Emerging Artists – Sullivan’s music embodies the essence of the blues and jazz as he connects music of all eras and genres through his improvisation.

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).

SUMMARY:Diana Ross at TD Toronto Jazz Festival
DESCRIPTION:Diana Ross defines icon. A remarkable career spanning over 50 years\, Ms Ross is an international treasure. 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:JUNE GARBER AND STU MAC Live at Jazz Bistro
DESCRIPTION:STU MAC is a dynamic performer whose charisma and charm delight audiences at every turn. His smooth tone and signature phrasing create a sound that you won’t soon forget. \nWith a vocal style reminiscent of Sinatra\, Tormé or Baker\, Stu Mac brings to life the phrasing and tone with which the ‘Great American Songbook’ was meant to be sung. Stu is a dynamic performer who continues to play a variety of venues throughout Toronto and southern Ontario. \nAfter receiving the ‘jazz vocalist of the year’ award while attending Humber College in 1998\, Stu went on to record and release his debut album ‘In a moment’ in 2000. He has studied with jazz notables\, such as Raneé Lee\, and performed with a number of Canada’s jazz luminaries\, including his Humber contemporary\, Laila Biali. Stu is set to release his latest project ‘Out of the Blue’ this summer and is excited to bring his band and new material to the Niagara Jazz Festival. \nJUNE GARBER is one of Canada’s most accomplished jazz vocalists. Her luscious\, masterful interpretive skills and on-stage personality capture audiences and draw them in\, enveloped by her warmth and sheer joy at being on stage. Every song that she chooses to sing connects to a base truth within – so there is never any artifice. Her voice reflects each emotional shift that the writer intended\, whether swinging with an up-tempo jazz song or telling a story with a soulful ballad. The stagecraft she learned in her earlier career as an actor is still evident in her singing performances today. \n“Of course that’s the miracle of June Garber; her instinct for capturing and delivering the details of a story and the nuances of emotions – the combination of sensuous luxury\, effortless precision\, characterful interpretation and the warmth of empathy.” – Raul DaGama \nJune has toured and performed as a singer in major venues across Canada and the United States\, Cuba\, the Caribbean\, Mexico\, South Africa\, and Australia. She has performed at jazz festivals throughout North America and with big bands in Toronto and Sarasota\, Florida. Her latest album This I Knowweaves a tapestry of emotions – love\, joy\, pain\, sadness – presented in some wonderful jazz songs that are not often recorded. It continues to receive to receive rave reviews and extensive airplay around the world.
