The Humber Contemporary Jazz Ensemble lit a lunch hour fire at the Four Seasons Centre today as part of the COC’s popular Free Concert Series in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre (presented by National Bank Financial Group). As usual, the tiered seating was nearly full by 11:45 am and the audience was treated to a swinging set that included standards like “Desafinado” and “All or Nothing At All” and a couple of original selections by ensemble director, the great Don Thompson.
Tomorrow (January 12) at 5:30 pm local jazz luminaries Michael Occhipinti and Mike Murley duke it out in Duologue and on Thursday at noon Classical Meets Klezmer with Jacques Israelievitch (violin), Shauna Ralston (cello) and Michael Israelievitch (percussion). Stay abreast of this exciting free concert series by signing up for the COC’s e-news blast.
