TORONTO: BOB MOVER WITH THE BERNIE SENENSKY TRIO

THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) presents, for one night only, extraordinary saxophonist Bob Mover who will be visiting from NYC along with the Bernie Senensky trio (Bernie Senensky - piano, Steve Wallace - bass, Ben Riley - drums). Bob Mover has attracted generations of listeners with his versatility, emotional depth and technical command on alto, tenor and soprano saxophones. Through his sideman stints with such legends as Chet Baker, Charles Mingus and Jaki Byard, and his work as a leader since the mid-'70s, Mover has attained the highest level of individuality and authority on his instruments - not just mastering the saxophone lineage but also claiming a place of honor within it. Born in Boston, Mover relocated to Florida at age 12 and took up the horn the following year. At the age of 13, Mover came under the influence of Ira Sullivan, who he remains close friends with to this day. He studied with highly regarded jazz veterans such as Phil Woods, Al Cohn, and Richie Kamuca. While still a teenager, Mover had already sat in at the old Half Note in New York with the likes of Roy Eldridge, James Moody, and Zoot Sims, and others. In recent years Mover has also cultivated a sound and style as a vocalist, as heard on his 2008 release It Amazes Me ... Following up that strong effort on his new two-disc release My Heart Tells Me, Mover divides his time between two different but closely related aesthetics. There is a $15 cover.

SAN FRANCISCO: DAVID MURRAY INFINITY QUARTET AT YOSHI'S

The David Murray Infinity Quartet will perform at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) on Thursday, July 3rd with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Few musicians in jazz history have proven more vigorously productive and resourceful than David Murray. During the past 35 years, from the moment he first visited New York as a 20-year-old student, playing in a walkup loft, in 1975, David has careened forward in a cool, collected, rocket-fueled streak. He has released over 150 albums under his own name. Yet more impressive than the numbers is the constancy of two abiding achievements: as a tenor saxophonist, he has perfected an instantly recognizable approach to improvisation that even in its freest flights acknowledges the gravity of a tradition he honors more than most; and he has altered the context for his improvisations as an infinite mosaic of musical challenges and explorations. David Murray goes down as a worthy successor for some of the biggest names in jazz, and he is now contributing to the rise of young talents such as Lafayette Gilchrist, a young pianist who has already been widely acclaimed by the critics. There is a $19-$28 cover.

In 2012 the group had not only played many of most prominent International Jazz Festivals (Newport, Montreal, etc) but they also released their debut album 'Primavera' on Greg Osby's Inner Circle Music label. After their release bandleader Mario Castro moved to New York City and with his arrival to the big apple Castro commenced writing music with a larger pallet of colors and sounds in mind. He was in pursuit for a unique sonic experience. This pursuit eventually lead to combining the brilliant, warm and visual sound of a string quartet with the trademark rumbling vibrant crash of the quintet. Mario Castro Quintet / Strings was born. In December of 2013 Mario Castro Quintet / Strings signed a record deal with Interrobang Records and went into the best and most legendary studio in NYC, Avatar Studios to record their debut album with strings. 'Estrella De Mar' (star of the sea) is an emotional ride. Beautifully written pieces brought to life by a stunning performance of each member of the group as well as special guest appearances by Casey Benjamin(from the Robert Glasper Experiment), David Sanchez, Dave Liebman, Emily Elbert, Jaime Woods, J. Hoard, among others. Call for cover/minimum information.
