“Cole can be coolly lyrical, he can write a controlled “classical” counterpoint, he can drop in some funk, and he can also let the improvisers loose in the stratosphere.” – Popmatters.com
“To create your own voice in the crowded musical environment of today is a feat.” - Free Jazz Blog
Critically acclaimed bassist, composer, and improviser Josh Cole presents a series of concerts focused on the criminally underrated jazz and improvised music scene in Toronto. Featuring a who’s who of Canadian improvisers—Lina Allemano, John Oswald, Aline Homzy, Nick Fraser, Nick Storring, Blake Howard, the Dun-Dun Band, and more—the concert series will highlight a range of projects Josh Cole has been developing over the last couple of years.
