Cuban Rhapsody with Jane Bunnett, Hilario Duran and featured guest Candido Camero performs at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299 - ) on Thursday through Saturday, November 6th through 8th at 9:00 pm. Four-time JUNO Award winner, two-time Grammy nominee, and Officer of the Order of Canada, soprano saxophonist/ flautist Jane Bunnett is known for her creative integrity, improvisational daring and courageous artistry. Her exploration of Afro-Cuban melodies expresses the universality of music and her ability to embrace and showcase the rhythms and culture of Cuba has been groundbreaking. Havana native Hilario Duran is well known as one of the great Cuban pianists. In the 1980s he joined Arturo Sandoval's band as composer, arranger, producer and pianist; it was a collaboration that saw him often sharing stages with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie and Michel Legrand. Duran toured throughout Latin American and Europe with his own group, Perspectiva, for several years, a period during which he also played piano on Jane Bunnett's Juno Award-winning spirits of Havana recording. Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1921, NEA Jazz Master Candido Camero first began making music as a young child, beating rhythms on empty condensed milk cans in place of bongos. He worked for six years with the CMQ Radio Orchestra and at the famed Cabaret Tropicana. He came to the United States in 1946 with the dance team Carmen and Rolando, and very soon after was playing with Billy Taylor. There is a $20-$25 cover. copyright 2014 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
