Petr Cancura: Red Brick Cafe (GJF 'Around Town' Program)

Saturday, 14 September, 2019, 2pm

The 'GJF Around Town' program complements the rest of the festival program by giving (primarily downtown) businesses the freedom to book music for their customers. Petr was already in Guelph to play with the co-operative quartet, Way North, at Market Square, and added a beautiful solo tenor saxophone solo concert as part of the 'Around Town' program.

From his website: "Born in Eastern Europe, brought up in the wilderness of the Great White North, and later thrusting into the urban jungle of New York City, it is no surprise that Petr Cancura’s musical pallet is as wide as it is. A saxophonist with a vast knowledge of Jazz, Balkan, African and American folk traditions, Petr performs on banjo and mandolin as well as on the medium format black & white camera… all of which influences each other into a Roots Song & Improvising music machine with a visual sensibility."
