09:00pm: Live From NYC: Soul R&B percussion sensation VINX
"Vinx is the gift you give to someone that you really care about." ~ STEVIE WONDER
"Like the great balladeers of the '40s and '50s, Vinx boasts a dulcet-toned croon, which
can envelop a romantic rhapsody or stretch into effortless volcalese. Add to that admirable
quality an unparalleled talent for percussive invention, and an ear for moody sonic artistry
and you have the unique mix showcased on Big 'n' Round...." ~ JAZZ TIMES
"Imagine a classic R&B voice like those of Sam Cooke or Al Jarreau singing a capella over
a boisterous percussion troupe and you might get a hold on Vinx's magic...It's his yearning
voice, alternately full of both anguish and joy, that makes you listen." ~ MODERN DRUMMER

07:30pm: Sundar Quintet honors the Music of Ornette Coleman
One of Canada's most diversely talented jazz ambassadors on alto saxophone - Sundar - 
pays tribute to a jazz iconoclast and visionary - Ornette Coleman.
Jazz.about.com writes:
"Saxophonist Ornette Coleman sparked controversy in jazz almost as soon as he began playing. 
Although highly influenced by blues, R&B, and bebop, in the 1950s he began playing with such an
unorthodox approach to improvisation that to this day jazz musicians and scholars aren’t sure what
to make of him. One thing is sure, however: that Coleman changed the way people thought about
jazz improvisation, and as a result opened new avenues of creativity for later musicians."
feat. Sundar - alto sax, flutes, Michael Herring - bass, Nick Fraser - drums
