Sunday March 21 @ 7:30
JEREMY LEDBETTER & CANFIRE
Presented by Venables Theatre

The band with their instruments standing in a river

“If Dizzy Gillespie were still with us, he would love CaneFire” Vancouver Sun “CaneFire is sweeter than Caroni brown sugar and don’t doubt me” Trinidad Guardian Toronto-based Caribbean jazz powerhouse CaneFire is NOT your grandfather’s jazz band. As one of the most explosive and energetic jazz ensembles on the planet, CaneFire delivers a rollicking, high-octane show combining the white-hot energy of Cuban rhythm, the blinding musicianship of modern jazz, and the unbridled joy of the music of the Caribbean.

 

CaneFire’s signature sound revolves around its unconventional use of the steelpan – the only petroleum byproduct in the world that is actually good for you. Led by Canadian pianist/composer Jeremy Ledbetter, CaneFire also features steelpan virtuoso Mark Mosca, Alexis Baro (trumpet), Braxton Hicks (saxophones), Chendy Leon (drums), Yoser Rodriguez (bass), and Alberto Suarez (percussion).

 

CaneFire has released two albums and taken their unique brand of Caribbean Latin Jazz from BC to Newfoundland, to South America, and to the Caribbean, including three years in a row at the Trinidad and Tobago Jazz Festival. Their second album Pandemonium embodies all the sizzle and twice the sophistication of its predecessor, and features guest performances by Trinidadian calypso superstar David Rudder and Brazilian jazz legend Hermeto Pascoal.
