JPEC’s presents Kurt Rosenwinkel Standards Trio
Saturday, March 27 @ 8pm
WHAT: One of the most widely admired jazz artists of his generation, guitarist and Verve recording artist, Kurt Rosenwinkel is rightfully taking his place alongside significant contemporary figures like Pat Metheny, John Scofield, John Abercrombie and Bill Frisell. His last album, Reflections by his Standards Trio, received excellent reviews and won him a mantel full of superlatives from fellow jazz artists - tenor sax star Joshua Redman declared that Rosenwinkel ''is without question one of the greatest artists of our generation." Presented as part of JPEC’s 2010 Concert Series, Rosenwinkel will be accompanied by Eric Revis (bass) and Rodney Green (drums) in this soul-stirring performance.
TICKETS: $35 Regular; $20 Student (available by phone or in person; student ID must be presented when picking up). A limited number of $20 rush seats will be available 30 minutes prior to concert start time.
Tickets are available from the Roy Thomson Hall box office (416) 872-4255 or www.jazzcentre.ca
WHERE: “Glenn Gould Studio” - 250 Front Street West, Toronto
WHEN: Saturday, March 27, 2010 @ 8pm
INFO: Jazz Performance and Education Centre (JPEC), officially founded in 2008, is a registered charity dedicated to the preservation and development of jazz in Canada. The result of a collaboration between business people, musicians and arts professionals who are passionate about jazz in Toronto, JPEC’s ultimate goal is to create a full-time jazz venue in the city: this first-class, multi-purpose facility will feature performances by top local, national and international jazz talent; educational programming through which fans of all ages can learn about jazz; recording facilities; and a Hall of Fame and Archives which will encompass and preserve Canada’s outstanding jazz heritage and tradition. The facility will enhance Toronto’s reputation as one of the best cities in North America in which to experience live jazz. Says JPEC Chair Ray Koskie: "We are delighted to bring this exciting evening of Jazz to Toronto, and look forward to supporting years of more great jazz performances, engaging presentations, and creative collaboration with Toronto's jazz community."
JPEC’s inaugural season features a variety of exciting programming including concerts at Glenn Gould Studio and the Bluma Appel Theatre, featuring the Oliver Jones Trio, Dianne Reeves, the Ingrid Jensen Quintet, the Kurt Rosenwinkel Trio and the Bill Charlap/Renee Rosnes Duo. The season also celebrates a series of lectures, hosted by the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre, led by local jazz musicians and writers including Heather Bambrick, Mark Barnes, Jack Chambers and Andrew Scott; and a series of jazz programs for children hosted by Casa Loma.
JPEC’s 2009-2010 season is generously supported by Lead Sponsor Koskie Minsky LLP and Media Partner Jazz.FM91 and National Post.
