A carnival of music, joy and danceable tunes with host Toni Basanta. www.cubanbridge.wordpress.com Featuring a tribute to Chick Corea shot by Toni at the Montreal Jazz Festival.
You only live once, but if you live right, once is enough. Chick Corea (1941-2021) lived a beautiful life, and today we are remembering him through one of his masterpieces as a leader; Light As A Feather recorded in 1972 with his band Return To Forever. Chick Corea remained a magnetic figure into his 80'ies. It was not about fame or popularity, even though he won 27 Grammys from his 60 Nominations. It was about getting that angelical art form out which he created. Five Montreal musicians, visionaries and virtuosos go head-to-head at this marvelous Live Concert which took place at The Montreal International Jazz Fest 2021, to a packed TD Scene gifting us new inspirations and a profound sense of joy. Peace Is All We Need!

The sound of SOULSHINE REVIVAL 802, was founded in Jacksonville, Florida, and subsequently based in Macon, Georgia, where The Allman Brothers Band began to experiment. The main reason for its foundation in 2021, was to render Tribute to the late Brian McKenna, a die-hard fan of the ABB. Tim Comings received the request, called his Friends and had many answers of approval. What was created to give a farewell departure to Brian is now a high caliber steady band looking for more venues outside the Green Mountain State. More in Toni's blog: cubanbridge.wordpress.com

Celebrating 101 Years of Cuban pianist Frank Emilio Flynn Rodríguez (1921-2001), you will enjoy friendly songs that people can relate to by magic composers and the crystalline vocals of Ivette Cepeda and Argelia Fragoso. It is also about the cross-pollination of 4 cultures: Cuba, the US, Argentina, and Canada. The line-up is unique and superlative in every regard!
