About this Event
One of them is a Canadian-born music school student figuring out the intersection of his passion and his roots. The other is a Malta-born saxophonist, a bit of an internationalist with European leanings, bringing the high-stakes creativity of contemporary, wartime Kyiv to the stage from the front lines of an ongoing war. Both are Ukrainian Jazz.
This is the bulk of the night in VOLUME 2 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...
Stick around for classic disco, soul and r&b and most certainlky some jazz on vinyl OR come early can listen to some village folk via our resident band (but RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect).
