About
Hilario Duran Latin Jazz Band w. Jane Bunnett
Now here’s a red-hot musical marriage made in heaven! After playing with Arturo Sandoval throughout the ‘80s, Havana-born piano virtuoso Hilario Durán formed his own group and moved to Canada in the mid-‘90s, quickly establishing himself as one of this country’s jazz giants. Winner of several Junos and Canadian National Jazz Awards, the supremely talented and musically innovative Durán is currently touring with his 13-piece Latin Jazz Band. The guest star for this tour is long-time collaborator Jane Bunnett, a virtuoso on flute and soprano sax who has herself recorded several award-winning CDs of Afro-Cuban music during a 30-year love affair with the music of Cuba. Conceived of as “a thank you to Canada,” this tour is a showcase of electrifying instrumental and vocal performances of Afro Cuban and Afro-Canadian compositions and arrangements that have been co-created by Durán and Bunnett in honour of their unique musical partnership and fusion of cultures. With John Johnson alto saxophone, Jeff King tenor saxophone, Pol Coussee tenor/baritone saxophone, Alexander Brown and Dave Dunlop trumpet, Christopher Butcher trombone, Paco Luvianobass, Ahmed Mitchel drums, Joaquin Hidalgo percussion and Yailen Durán and Luis Mario Ochoa vocals. This will be a unique, landmark show – don’t miss it!“Hilario Durán is an unparalleled pianist, as well as being a composer and arranger of the first order.” –Chucho Valdés
