TORONTO: JAKE KOFFMAN QUARTET CD RELEASE
Jake Koffman, part of the next generation of musicians and educators dedicated to the preservation, the integrity, and the evolution of jazz music, will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299 - ) on Wednesday, October 22nd at 8:00 pm. Born into Canadian music royalty, Jake grew up admiring the accomplishments of two grandfathers who were musicians inducted into the Order Of Canada. On his mother's side is Victor Feldbrill, who conducted the Toronto and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestras, among many others. On his father's side is one of the most prominent voices in Canadian jazz history, reedman and flutist Moe Koffman, whose work with Rob McConnell and Dizzy Gillespie, as well as hit song "Swinging Shepherd Blues", have firmly ensconced him in jazz history, and helped put Canadian jazz on the world map. After graduating from high school, Jake attended the renowned Humber College jazz program; he has since embarked on a freelance career as both a band leader and a sideman. Jake can frequently be heard in Toronto clubs performing with such invaluable and consistent members of the Toronto jazz scene as Bernie Senensky and Neil Swainson, who are on Jake's debut album, recorded in May, 2013. Jake has also been performing with highly acclaimed vocalist Nikki Yanofsky, which led to the opportunity to work with the legendary Quincy Jones. Cross-generational improvised music has been a strong part of the foundation with which jazz music continues to build its mountain, and by learning from the true masters of this music, Jake Koffman is ensuring its survival. There is a $15 cover.
