Part of the residency Cassiar Records (aka Josh Cole) presents:
Southern Cross
The final night of Josh Cole’s 2025 residency: a night of improvised chamber music with guest viola player James Annett from Montreal, featuring Aline Homzy (violin), Nick Storring (cello), John Oswald (sax), Blake Howard (percussion), and Josh Cole (double bass).
“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.
