TORONTO: BEVERLY TAFT MEETS THE NATHAN HILTZ ORCHESTRA: CD LAUNCH

The event is a Toronto Downtown Jazz Special Project Initiative. The CD features 10 of their original jazz and blues songs, with an all-star band playing Nathan's four-horn arrangements. Although some of the themes in these songs are familiar and some are contemporary - ranging from love and loss to urban ennui, pastoral bliss, 1950s courtship, economics in Cuba, and running away to West Virginia! - the music swings, and is very much in the tradition of the jazz standards that Nathan and Beverly have revered and performed for many years. These launch concerts will also include favourite standards from Brasil and the Great American Songbook, in full band and small combo. Nathan is a Juno winning guitarist and composer originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and a recipient of the Peter Harris Award for Guitarist of the Year (Humber College), the Duke Ellington Award for Excellence (Humber College), an Ontario Arts Council Recording Grant, and the 2008 Juno for Traditional Jazz Album of the Year (with Brandi Disterheft, for "Debut").

Best known for her interpretations of jazz standards, Beverly Taft has performed throughout Ontario, at such venues as Cherry Street Restaurant, Dominion on Queen, Homesmith Bar at The Old Mill, The Montreal Bistro, The Reservoir Lounge, The Rex Jazz & Blues Bar, U of T's "Friday Jazz at Oscar's" Series, and jazz festivals in Barrie, Markham, Muskoka, Orangeville, Orillia, Peterborough, and Southampton, as well as The Celebrate Toronto Street Festival, and the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival - her Bossa Nova Project (in English & Portuguese) has become an annual feature. A multi-linguist, she lived in Japan for two years, performing in small clubs there, and she returned to tour there in 2008. Beverly has always approached music as a storyteller, with a keen interest in the lyrics of each song, and how best to communicate them to an audience. There is a $15 cover.
