City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1TAcxGt Drummer and composer Brian Blade is easily one of the most versatile and soulful musicians in jazz. In New Orleans he became fully integrated into the jazz scene, studying and performing with the likes of Ellis Marsalis, Johnny Vidacovich, and Harold Battiste. He formed The Fellowship Band in New Orleans with Jon Cowherd and Chris Thomas. As Blade was developing as a bandleader, he became an increasingly in-demand sideman and band member, cultivating long-term associations with Joshua Redman, Joni Mitchell, Kenny Garrett, Edward Simon, Daniel Lanois, and others. In 2000, Blade began his most visible and fruitful partnership as a member of jazz legend Wayne Shorter's all-star quartet, touring the world and recording four albums.
