A BLUE NOTE NEW YEARS 2025 -- a NYE Jazz Party!
Celebrate the end of 2025 and ring in 2026 in Blue Note style with one of Canada's most acclaimed international jazz artists performing -- in quartet setting -- a night of hard-swinging tunes from the classic Blue Note Era at Toronto's . Hear some of Toronto's most exciting jazz artists playing innovative arrangements of music by such greats as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Grant Green, Horace Silver, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, and many many more of the names found on the primordial Blue Note Records label -- America's seminal jazz label since 1939. The ensemble will begin with swing classics and slowly, over the course of the night, start to interpret them in the contemporary jazz fashion the Brownman Akoustic 4-tet has become renowned for. As the night gets funkier, by midnight, expect it to be a full on jazz-funk New Year's party you won't want to miss!
