Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, and Brian Blade

Details

The rhythm section of Wayne Shorter’s legendary quartet kick off the night and joings a local Toronto big band for the premiere of Pérez’s new work, co-commissioned by the Royal Conservatory of Music.

As a solo artist and as a collaborator with jazz giants from Dizzy Gillespie to Wayne Shorter, for over three decades, Grammy-winning Panamanian pianist-composer Danilo Pérez has been lauded as one of the most creative forces in contemporary music. With jazz as the anchoring foundation, Pérez’s global jazz music is a blend of Panamanian roots, Latin American folk music, West African rhythms, and European impressionism, promoting music as a borderless and multidimensional bridge between all people.

After the concert, enjoy a beverage and more music at the Postlude Performance in the Leslie and Anna Dan Galleria.
