Rankin MacInnis’ Jazz Fest Jamboree will come with a big ensemble and a big sound. Known for his eclectic, high-energy shows, MacInnis brings together the region’s top musical talent for a live-music experience unlike anything you’ve seen before, one that feels like it spans time and genres, from traditional folk to future pop, fueled by a lot of groove and finished with a bit of grit. Together, the band has built an award-winning music festival (Blueberry Jam), a first-of-its-kind concert series (Rankin’s Winter Warmers), and a community of creative collaborators who are up for anything, and fans who can’t wait to see what’s next. Rankin MacInnis’s Jazz Fest Jamboree will host several familiar special guests, stay tuned for details as they are released!
Opening the Sunday show is Moneka Arabic Jazz, a project reflecting the founder, Amhed’s life and journey in art from Baghdad to Toronto. Because his journey brought him to Toronto, Amhed is honoured to share this heritage and traditions with local Canadian musicians. Jazz and blues is the best genre to bridge his afro-arabic background and the fascinating musical diversity of Torontonian performers. He often finds inspiration to write songs by researching old stories from Iraq as realities of the present moment locally or internationally. Focusing on the past inspires analysis, while the future inspires visions and dreams.
Joining Amhed Moneka, to form Moneka Arabic Jazz is Waleed Abdulhamid (bass guitar, vocals), Demetri Petsalakis (guitar, oud), Fathi Najem (electric violin, kora) Ernie Tollar (saxophone, Arabic flute), Max Sennitt (drums).
