The rhythm section of Wayne Shorter’s legendary quartet kick off the night and then join a Toronto big band for the premiere of Pérez’s new work, The Panáfrica Suite: Echoes from the Isthmus, co-commissioned by the RCM.
As a solo artist and as a collaborator with jazz giants from Dizzy Gillespie to Wayne Shorter, for over three decades, Grammy-winning Panamanian pianist-composer Danilo Pérez has been lauded as one of the most creative forces in contemporary music. With jazz as the anchoring foundation, Pérez’s global jazz music is a blend of Panamanian roots, Latin American folk music, West African rhythms, and European impressionism – promoting music as a borderless and multidimensional bridge between all people.
