Music at Noon with the Tania Gill Trio

The 2021-22 Music at Noon Concert Series will welcome Laurier faculty, instructors and friends to the Maureen Forrester Recital Hall stage to share their talents. This week’s Music at Noon will feature the Tania Gill Trio. Program: Marsh Music Knocked Over Climate Striker Tangled Branches (For Geri Allen) Garage Dance Apology Jaunty Woo Tania Gill's name will undoubtedly be familiar to anyone that's been keeping a close eye on Toronto's jazz and experimental scenes over the past two decades. She is a member of the Brodie West Quintet, the Titillators, Rebecca Hennessy’s Makeshift Island; a former member of the Flying Bulgar Klezmer band and Deep Dark United; and has performed with a long list of other prominent musicians including Steve Reich, Anthony Braxton, Andrew Downing and The Weather Station. The Tania Gill Quartet is a primary vehicle for her writing and playing. The group launched their debut Bolger Station (Barnyard Records) in 2010 to numerous accolades including a nomination for ‘debut album of the year’ in The Village Voice jazz critics’ poll, and a spot on The Globe and Mail's top 10 discs of the year. They will release a new recording in March 2022, entitled Disappearing Curiosities. This concert will feature a trio version of the group, with the insightful and consistently intriguing bassist Rob Clutton, whose duo recording with Tony Malaby was hailed by DownBeat as “expansive and sensitive in spirit”; and behind the drums: Nico Dann, a formidable and somewhat volatile presence in the unit and “a fiendishly precise percussionist,” as reported by Pitchfork.
