Pianist Michael Arnowitt is joined by Toronto favourites Phil Albert on upright bass and Nico Dann on drums for a colourful and lively set of acoustic jazz Saturday, November 8 at 2 pm at The Rex,194 Queen Street West. The trio will perform jazz classics such as Benny Golson’s stylish Along Came Betty, Miles Davis’ evocative Nardis, music by Wayne Shorter, jazz arrangements of the Beatles’ She’s Leaving Home and Eleanor Rigby, and improvisations on tunes from more recent decades by Brad Mehldau and Dave Holland. A highlight of the set will be Michael Arnowitt’s jazz arrangement “The Stream” based on J.S. Bach’s atmospheric and moody Fugue in C-sharp minor from the Well-Tempered Keyboard, transformed into the language of jazz . Come join the ImproVisions Jazz Trio for an up-close experience – a great opportunity to hear these three outstanding creative musicians perform a set of acoustic jazz full of improvisational interplay and musical conversation.
