ELORA – After a three-year hiatus, Sensational Elora is delighted its very popular jazz series is returning.
The first show of the season is scheduled for May 20, at 7pm, at the Elora Legion, 110 Metcalfe Street, featuring the vocals of D’eve Archer backed by an all-star band of musicians.
When describing the solo sounds of D’eve Archer, “many are not only impressed by her diversity with instrumentation but are amazed by her techniques to fuse multiple genres together to make harmonious sounds that will leave you wanting more,” officials say.
Her backup band for the evening is a “who’s who” of prominent musicians in Ontario and beyond: Randall Coryell on rums, Bill Evans on piano, Paul Intson, bass composer/musician/arranger/ producer/explorer in the adventure of music creation, and Alan Ralston, a trumpet/flugelhorn composer and arranger
Sensational Elora chair Kirk McElwain says “we are very excited about this show as D’eve and the band present an evening of diverse musical genres and some new, soon to be released music written by Al Ralston. The fusion of vocals and instruments is magical.”
