Blackwood returns to St David's with cellist India Gailey for the release of our album PASSAGES! Join us for a night of soaring, beautiful sounds, soulful improvisations and a new slate of original compositions.
The heart of Blackwood resides within the deep musical simpatico between organist/pianist Peter-Anthony Togni and bass clarinetist Jeff Reilly. Presenting their beautiful and uniquely lyrical approach to music that straddles the boundary areas between jazz and classical, these musical soul searchers have toured the world, garnered 4 Juno nominations between them, recorded for illustrious labels like ECM, Warner Classics and ATMA Classique, and presented over 100 concerts in their home city of Kjipuktuk/Halifax over the past 25 years.
India Gailey is a cellist, composer, and improviser based in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, NS. Gailey was named by CBC as one of "30 hot Canadian classical musicians under 30," and has toured across the Western hemisphere as both a soloist and collaborator, most often in the realms of classical and experimental music.
"Sonically haunting, sophisticated, euro-jazz minimalism" Selwin Harris, Jazzwise UK
