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

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."
