This year our contribution to the world stage for International Jazz Day on April 30th is a tribute concert to one of our best, the Maestro, Guido Basso. A Canadian jazz icon, once a member of Rob McConnell’s Boss Brass, Basso was a trumpeter, flugelhornist, arranger, composer and conductor. An intuitive player who approached his instrument with deep emotion and agility.Guido passed away at the age of 85 in February of 2023 and our community misses him dearly. With this tribute concert, we have pulled together some of Canada’s finest players in Chase Sanborn, Brian O’Kane, John Sherwood, Terry Clarke, Neil Swainson and Reg Schwager to honour him.
Supported by Don Valley North Lexus, Antigua and Barbuda Tourism, and The Walrus.
