TORONTO: SUNDAY BRUNCH WITH FREEPLAY DUO: SUBA SANKARAN & DYLAN BELL

Multifaceted musicians Suba Sankaran and Dylan Bell join forces to create the FreePlay Duo and will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Sunday, March 30th at 12:30 pm as part of the Sunday Jazz Brunch series. Described as "inspired eclecticism", Dylan and Suba will take you from the concert halls of Europe, to the jazz clubs of Manhattan, to the temples of India, and back to the cultural mosaic of their native Toronto• all without leaving your seat. from Bach to Bird to the Beatles, Dylan and Suba effortlessly cross musical boundaries, continually combining and recombining sounds to create a concert of endless variety, with the intimate delivery of two people. Dylan and Suba first met in Toronto in 1993, singing in a jazz choir at York University called "Wibijazz'n'": soon after, they started directing the choir together. At their year-end concert, Dylan and Suba performed an a cappella "director's duet", and the Duo was born. What started as a typical voice-and-piano jazz duo began to evolve: more instruments were added, and more musical styles explored, to create a duo unique in its musical depth and variety. Imagine Simon and Garfunkel crossed with a Bach 2-part invention or an acrobatic jazz melody combined with ancient Indian solkattu or an 8-part vocal arrangement created by two singers, right before your eyes and you'll get a glimpse of what the Duo has to offer. There is a $15 cover.
