New Spire Arts presents - Jane Bunnett & Maqueque.
“This band sounds like no other today in Jazz.” – Down Beat magazine, which voted Jane Bunnett and Maqueque as one of the Top 10 Jazz Groups in its most recent Critic’s Poll.
How did Jane Bunnett and Maqueque evolve - in less than five years - from a project to support and honor the new generation of young women jazz players and composers, to a Grammy nominated, critically acclaimed band that is in demand internationally at major Jazz festivals?
This all-female collective is led by veteran jazz icon, soprano saxophone player, flautist, composer and proud Canadian Jane Bunnett. With five Juno awards, three Grammy nominations and an Officer of the Order of Canada (Canadas highest civilian award) Jane decided to dedicate herself to taking Maqueque to the world.
With hard work, virtuosity and chemistry, presented to audiences with power and joy, the dream is alive and thriving! For more information visit www.newspiritearts.org |
