Toronto jazz drummer Nick Fraser will be bringing a back-beat to Brandon for Brandon University’s next Pro Series concert.
Fraser brings his quartet, featuring New York City saxophonist Tony Malaby, to BU.
They will be joined on stage by cellist Andrew Downing and bassist Rob Clutton.
“Working with Tony and this quartet is very special for me, not only because of the considerable instrumental abilities of each member, but because they are all extremely committed to their work and to their own artistic development,” Fraser said in a statement.
“They’re very passionate and powerful players who push me to, or past, the limits of my own musical conception.”
The band will be performing songs from their newest recording, “Starer,” which was well received by fans and critics alike.
Fraser says improvisation propels his work.
He explained he is inspired with the notion that he and his fellow musicians can explore endless layers, while being guided by the works he has written.
The performance will take place at the Lorne Watson Recital Hall, located in the Queen Elizabeth II Music Building at Brandon University, on Tuesday at 8 p.m.
Tickets will be available at the door prior to the performance or in advance at the School of Music main office.
They are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, students and BU alumni, and $10 for Conservatory students.
Subscriptions are still available for $75 for adults, $40 for seniors, students and BU alumni, and $30 for Conservatory students.
