Jane Bunnett - Embracing Voices - Saturday, April 18, 2009

Juno winner and Grammy nominee, Jane Bunnett returns to Bragg Creek with a special concert called 'embracing voices' based on her latest CD - Embracing Voices. Embracing Voices and Jane have won the 2008 Juno for Contemporary Jazz Album of the year.

Bragg Creek Performing Arts is pleased to announce that a special concert has been added to our regular concert series this year. Order your tickets early for Jane Bunnett’s exciting new show “ Embracing Voices” to be performed at The Bragg Creek Centre on April 18^th 2009. This features an incredible touring company of 16 artists. Jane explained, "My original plan was to make a simple, live trio recording this time, something improvisational, but the possibility of writing and arranging my own vocal material around the Grupo Vocal Desandann was too compelling”.

Vocal Desandann is an extraordinary Cuban vocal group of Haitian descent. This very unique and world-renowned ensemble is composed mainly of second and third generation Haitians who were born and raised in Cuba, and bring their incredible history and lineage to this project with vocal performances that demand attention!

Jane said “I did a complete turnaround and ended up involving myself in the biggest and most complex project of my career. I'm so glad I persevered. I don't quite know what to make of this music. I've never heard anything like it. But I've never been good at fitting into niches." Embracing Voices is the very first time that all of the tracks on a CD of Jane’s includes the vocal talents from some of the jazz & World scene's best and includes songs in English, Creole and Spanish! www.janebunnett.com. Come to the concert where you will be able to meet with these renowned artists to share your thoughts about this colourful, exciting and memorable event.

Reviews

... "no single record has attempted such an all-embracing sweep of vocal/choral/instrumental music as Embracing Voices. This is a major project that honors the human spirit, featuring the unique scope of the human voice and brave rhythmic, melodic and harmonic explorations into the furtherest extent of musical instrumentation."
