TORONTO: JAZZ BISTRO YOUNG ARTIST SERIES: ALEX ERNEWEIN

Alex Ernewein will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Thursday through Saturday, June 12th through 14th at 6:00 pm as part of the club's Young Artist Series. Alex was born in 1993 and grew up on a farm near Innerkip, Ontario. Having a keen interest in music his whole life, he taught himself the piano at age 8. He especially immersed himself in jazz music, performing at various venues across Ontario, and by the time he was 14 he released his self-titled debut jazz album. After this, his musical pursuits broadened to the likes of folk and post-rock music. Using several different instruments instead of just the piano, Ernewein began performing a new style of music that was very well recieved. This music was a radical change in direction from his earlier works, the most notable difference being his singing. After playing this new material at several concerts, he finished working on an album of completely original material. This album features him playing nearly every instrument as well as singing; it was released in May 2011. Since then he has moved to Toronto and is currently playing all around the city, both in the studio and on the stage. Backing up a wide array of artist that all differ stylistically, Ernewein is quickly emerging in the scene as one of the cities most versatile and proficient keyboard players. No cover charge.

Terpstra was born in Oakville in 1952 to Dutch immigrants who wanted their son to study classical music. However, on hearing a Count Basie record (which he still has) Anthony fell in love with it and decided to be a jazz musician when he grew up. Anthony Terpstra's Seventet is a unique ensemble put together, not to replace the big band, but as an added feature. Influenced by the small band writing of Marty Paich and Gerry Mulligan, the Seventet has a rich sound with clean lines, contrapuntal writing and soloing in and out of ensemble. Joining the Seventet tonight will be Jazz Bistro's owner and crooner extraordinaire, Colin Hunter, and friends. There is a $15 cover.
