Rubim<br />
de Toledo<br />
A hot night of new <strong>jazz</strong> from one of Alberta’s<br />
most sought-after musicians! Originally from<br />
Edmonton and now living in Calgary, Rubim<br />
de Toledo, is in high demand as a sideman for<br />
projects in any style, and also has a flourishing<br />
career as a leader.<br />
This special CD release show will feature<br />
music from Rubim’s latest CD, “The River”. The<br />
recording (and this show!) features an all-star<br />
lineup of Alberta <strong>jazz</strong> musicians and features<br />
all original compositions in an acoustic <strong>jazz</strong><br />
quintet format. The music for this CD was<br />
originally written as the soundtrack to “In<br />
Tinge and Tone”, a Decidedly Jazz Danceworks<br />
production. The quintet first performed this<br />
material live in June 2008 and subsequently<br />
recorded in studio in September 2008.<br />
Rubim’s prior recordings include “In Charcoal<br />
and Crimson” (nu-<strong>jazz</strong>) and “Seu Swing”<br />
(world-<strong>jazz</strong>), a venture that featured Cuban<br />
and Brazilian musicians throughout.<br />
Apart from his solo work, Rubim is known as<br />
bassist and founding member of the latin<strong>jazz</strong><br />
group, Bomba. With Bomba, he has<br />
recorded four CDs and has toured extensively<br />
including Canada, the US, Europe, Asia and<br />
South America.<br />
As a band leader, Rubim is the founder of<br />
the improv/groove collective “reClaim”. With<br />
the reClaim collective, Rubim led a rotating<br />
group of musicians into a more electronic,<br />
improvisational and experimental musical<br />
realm. The collective recorded two live CDs.<br />
On various occasions, Rubim has also led a<br />
nonet in recreating the music of Miles Davis’<br />
“Birth of the Cool”.<br />
Rubim is the musical director for the<br />
prestigious dance company, Decidedly<br />
Jazz Danceworks of Calgary. He is also the<br />
director of the Mount Royal College Large<br />
Jazz Ensemble in Calgary. As well, he teaches<br />
<strong>jazz</strong> improvisation and directs student <strong>jazz</strong><br />
combos at Mount Royal College.<br />
