FIRST STOP – CUBA on Tuesday, August 6, 2013
David Buchbiner's “Oddessa/Havana” featuring Hilario Duran
Award-winning trumpeter and composer David Buchbinder teams up with JUNO-winning pianist and composer Hilario Durán and a crew of Canada’s top jazz and world musicians to present this exciting Jewish-Cuban fusion. Working with award-winning producer (and band member) Roberto Occhipinti, the ensemble has captured the fresh, fiery and innovative sound that ignites audiences at every performance. The sound is unique and compelling…about as far from Desi Arnaz meets Fiddler On The Roof as you can get!
