Jason Rosenblatt Quartet – December 6, Segal Studio LiveEvents November 29, 2015 5065 Power Jazz Series presents Jason Rosenblatt Quartet Composer, pianist, vocalist, and harmonica player Jason Rosenblatt is one of the world’s foremost harmonica innovators. His performance on the unassuming instrument has helped break new musical ground for the instrument long associated with “the blues,” into art forms as diverse as jazz, bluegrass, klezmer and Turkish music. His latest project of all original jazz, blues and ragtime compositions harkens back to the “good ol’ days” of jazz influenced by Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong, mixed with tinges of post-bop and avant-garde. Combining mellifluous, mind-bending harmonica and gritty guitar, this group’s low-down blues inflected set is always performed with good humour. The quartet’s debut CD, is scheduled for release in Fall of 2015. Segal Centre Studio 5170 chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine, Montreal, H3W 1M7 For tickets and information: www.segalcentre.org 514-739-7944 www.jasonrosenblatt.com
