TORONTO: VITO REZZA AND "5 AFTER 4"

Vito Rezza And "5 After 4" perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Thursday through Saturday, February 20th through 22nd at 9:00 pm. Toronto-based Rezza is known as a drummer's drummer, the kind of player who awes his peers. There is far more to Vito Rezza than superb stickhandling skills, however. He is also a bandleader and composer with a string of highly-acclaimed albums under his belt. For the past 22 years, Rezza has led Canadian ensemble 5 After 4, and the band has opened for the likes of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Spyro Gyra, Kevin Eubanks, Boss Brass, and Joe Henderson. 5 After 4 released their sixth record, Rome In A Day, last year, on the ALMA Records label. The eleven-track disc featured six Rezza original compositions, and it confirmed he's at the peak of his powers in all his different roles. Rounding out the ensemble: keyboardist Matt Horner, an accomplished and creative musician whose career spans four decades; Juno-nominated bassist Pat Kilbride, who has appeared on over 200 recordings; and the highly in-demand saxophonist John Johnson, who has worked with everyone from Aretha Franklin to Diana Krall. There is a $15 cover.
