BOSTON: GRAND FATILLA CD RELEASE SHOW AT THE REGATTABAR

The world fusion quartet, Grand Fatilla, returns to the THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757) on Thursday, September 4th at 7:30 pm to celebrate the release of its long-awaited debut CD, Global Shuffle (GrandFatilla Records). The band features Roberto Cassan: accordion; Matt Glover: electric mandolin; Mike Rivard: double bass & sintir; and Fabio Pirozzolo: percussion & vocals. With its unique instrumentation of accordion, electric mandolin, double bass (and Moroccan sintir), voice and percussion, Grand Fatilla jumps from Argentine Tangos to Italian Tarantellas ... from Turkish sacred Sufi songs to Irish reels ... Moroccan trance to Bulgarian dance music, all performed with an emphasis on improvisational group interplay and playful spontaneity. In this age of heightened global consciousness the repertoire that Grand Fatilla performs acknowledges and pays homage to the idea that it is indeed One World that we all live in, and the music of diverse cultures enriches us all. There is an $18 cover.

TORONTO: THE ANDREW CRAIG QUARTET AT THE JAZZ BISTRO

Celebrated vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, director and broadcaster Andrew Craig debuts a new musical sound with his all-star quartet at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Thursday through Saturday, September 3rd through 6th at 9:00 pm. Craig has long searched for the nexus point between jazz, blues, R & B, funk, Gospel and music of the African continent. His latest songs come closest to reaching that nexus point, and he is excited to debut them in public for the first time. Craig is thrilled to be supported by a world-class trio of musicians: Paa Joe - guitar, Rich Brown - bass and Altaf Vellani - drums and percussion. Andrew Craig creates and performs original music, directs orchestras and musical productions, produces albums, radio, and television, and composes for theatre. He's worked with artists such as Molly Johnson, Wynton Marsalis, Measha Bruggergosman and Kellylee Evans, opened for Bobby McFerrin, directed tributes to Oscar Peterson and Quincy Jones, and performed twice for Nelson Mandela. There is a $12-$15 cover.

TORONTO: YOUNG ARTIST SERIES: KRISTIAN PODLACHA

Kristian Podlacha will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299 - ) on Thursday through Saturday, September 4th, 5th & 6th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm as part of the club's Young Artist Series. Born into a musical family, Kristian started studying piano at 7 and was writing classically by 8. Early exposure to Oscar Peterson and Django Reinhardt caused him to fall deeply in love with jazz, a style of music that has shaped his life. Since then, he has explored and performed swing, French jazz manouche, contemporary jazz, and classical music. The result is a highly personal sound blending the harmony of French impressionists Ravel and Debussy with the passion of jazz manouche; all placed within the sophistication of modern jazz. He is currently studying piano at the University of Toronto with scholarship. There is no cover.
