In Dorion looks forward to spring with Canada Day

On Sunday, March 20 (9pm) Jazz Club Ferrara looks forward to another spring Main concert. The guest of the evening was Canada Day, a quartet led by Canadian drummer Harris Eisenstadt.

The drummer sits in the control room of a prestigious group and has been sitting together for years on very different versions of the Canada Day program, including the quartet formula Without piano This is only the latest, most intriguing, revelation.

He has directed several bands (September Trio, Woodblock Prints, The Soul and Gone, Golden State, etc …), but Canada Day is one of the longest running, and it allows his jazz page to be more fully revealed. Born in Toronto in 1975, he has played around the world as a leader and drummer. He has received commissions from various organizations (American Composers Forum, Canada Council for the Arts, Visit Composer), author and author.
