JAZZ MEETS....


George Crotty
Crotty’s cello playing is kinetic and magnetic. With passion and posture, he evokes sounds from the verdant hills of Ireland to the arid atmosphere of the Levant, always with the rhythmic playfulness of someone who has listened to everything from James Brown to Shakti to Mulatu Astake. The George Crotty Trio makes music that is cinematic, pluralistic, and conversational. They draw on Indian raga, Arabic maqam, and modal jazz; using the language of other cultures to speak new things. “I’m not at home in any one culture,” muses Crotty, “so the trio became my home.” They’ve made a space to belong in and joyfully invite others into.

“A stream of genre-blurring invention.”
—All About Jazz

“Sounds like the cosmopolitan centre Toronto is.”
—Canadian Music Centre

Sherzandum
Sherzandum delivers an energetic, sweat-dripping dance party in the form of 7 men who play klezmer with tones from the Balkans and swing jazz culture. Pumping swing rhythms, surgically precise breaks and snarling brass riffs in a world music universe are thus part of the package when Sherzandum fires up.
Look forward to the music from the 2 previous releases Yatzy being fired up! and Højt Spil, so we can really make February glow with a bang at this year's winter jazz festival.
Sherzandum has been quiet for a little too long, but now the time has come to let the party loose again!
