As part of Miles Davis's Second Great Quintet, Hancock helped to redefine the role of the rhythm section in modern jazz art, was one of the primary architects of the "post-bop" sound, and was one of the first jazz musicians to embrace music synthesizers and funk music. Led by the highly in demand pianist and composer NICK MACLEAN - called "A rising star in the Canadian jazz community" (Globe & Mail), winner of 8 Gold Global Music Awards and a Toronto Independent Music Award - the Nick Maclean Quartet pays tribute to this legendary artist. The group features "Canada's preeminent jazz trumpet player" (NYC Village Voice) and Randy Brecker protege, BROWNMAN ALI, winner of multiple National Jazz Awards, the Montreal Grand Prix du Jazz, and countless other awards and accolades. Maclean and Ali, stand shoulder to shoulder with two of Toronto's top 20 something jazz musicians - BEN DUFF on bass and PETROS ANAGNOSTAKOS on drums - and the group will explore Hancock material over 2 sets: the first set featuring music from Hancock's tenure with Miles and his time on Blue Note Records, while the second set delves into Herbie's funkified sounds from his group Head Hunters. ---- BONUS: As a sneak peek -- here's the tune list of what the ensemble is planning on playing this night : - Driftin (Takin' Off - 1962) - The Maze (Takin' Off - 1962) - And What If I don't (My Point Of View - 1963) - Eye Of the Hurricane (Maiden Voyage - 1965) - Maiden Voyage (Maiden Voyage - 1965) - Lil One (Maiden Voyage - 1965) - Dolphin Dance (Maiden Voyage - 1965) - Oliloqui Valley (Empyrean Isles - 1964) - One Finger Snap (Empyrean Isles - 1964) - Cantaloupe Island (Empyrean Isles - 1964) - The Sorcerer (Speak Like a Child - 1968) - Tell Me A Bedtime Story (Fat Albert Rotunda - 1969) - Watermelon Man (Takin' Off - 1962, Head Hunters - '73) - Chameleon (Head Hunters - 1973) - Butterfly (Thrust - 1974) ---- :: Nick Maclean - piano :: Brownman Ali - trumpet :: Ben Duff - bass :: Petros Anagnostakos - drums (in for Jacob Wutzke) ---- WATCH Nick Maclean Quartet perform the Herbie Hancock classic 'One Finger Snap' https://youtu.be/edSOmNfDo5o ---- For more info: www.NicholasMaclean.com www.Brownman.com www.Browntasauras.com White Rabbit: TONE A All Night Long! 09-17 | 20h-2h Rick Laplante Extended Birthday Set!

AfroFestival Ottawa is a free, yearly Music and Arts festival that showcases the best of African culture and entertainment in the nation’s Capital. This festival gives all Canadians a chance to experience the beauty and wonder of African culture and expression. It promotes a sense of integration and representation for African Canadians, and celebrates a culture that is often misunderstood or undervalued. This festival highlights local artists who struggle to find opportunities to showcase themselves in the Ottawa music scene, and provides artisans of African fashion, goods and crafts with a chance to display their wares. There is also a place for authentic African cuisine food vendors and restaurants to promote their businesses, sample and sell their food. With live performances from both local and international artists, children's activities and fashion shows, this is a festival the whole family can enjoy. Last year was our 2nd year and was in person at Mooney's Bay Park, Over 10,000 people attended the Festival with Positive feed back, this year we plan to make it better and bigger. This year, we are happy to announce that we will be hosting in person festival at our well known beach in OTTAWA on September 10th and 11th 2022. Come have fun while discovering local talents and diverse African culture at our free festival.

Less so that clouds could be documented, stored in a digitized drive, or reproduce a similar emotive state when reviewed through the screen. I just like to see it, the diversion from an unpronounced or routine trajectory, where being on-time or fixated in a state of transit is set aside. An instance when someone you have not been introduced to communicates they are having a moment without needing to spell it out. There is not so much to say, as the gesture dictates that we are in the right place, at the right time. The activity is to be immersed in a cloud formation or a particular spectrum of light. As if one were an angel - either about to vanish into thin air, or appearing as though enmeshed in the image. Ambience. Maximalism forever being the terrestrial suggestion. It’s for you, a lucky cloud in the sky. 𝘈𝘕𝘋 𝘔𝘖𝘙𝘌 𝘛𝘉𝘈!!
