This show took place on March 23, 2018. See what’s coming up at The Jazz Room.
Award-winning trumpeter and composer David Buchbinder leads this Juno award-winning, 8-piece orchestra of top jazz and world musicians. David Buchbinder’s Odessa/Havana is an exhilarating, unparalleled project of musical discovery: the creative cross-cultural collusion of Latin and Jewish klezmer musical styles. Originating in Toronto, the Canadian hub of cultural diversity, the group’s sound is truly original. With delicately textured music and swinging, lyrical playing, Odessa/Havana radiates passion, and audiences can’t resist the urge to dance.
