Nick Fraser/Angelica Sanchez/Tony Malaby

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

Nick Fraser (drums, compositions) has been an active and engaging presence in the Toronto new jazz and improvised music community for over 25 years. For this performance, he has gathered his mentor and collaborator Tony Malaby (saxophones) and pianist Angelica Sanchez, who also share a long history of music-making together. This trio features three seasoned improvisers who delight in musical abstraction. Bracing yet lyrical, their music will be an intense journey into the unknown.

“Drummer Nick Fraser is a longtime staple of the Toronto jazz scene—and for good reason. Not only is he a tremendously creative player, equally at home with free-form improvisation and standard bop-style jazz, he’s also a remarkably attentive listener.”  -JD Considine, Downbeat Magazine

“In her piano playing as well as her compositions Angelica Sanchez seeks out the lyrical heartbeat within any avant-garde storm…” – The New York Times

“One of New York City’s most in-demand tenor saxophonists, Tony Malaby has become one of the most distinctive artists of his time.” -Troy Collins, All About Jazz New York
