Tonight at the Rex you won’t want to miss Rudder who are in from New York for the first of two nights at 9:30 pm. Friday things get going early with the Hogtown Syncopators followed at 6:30 by the Artie Roth Trio. Saturday Pat LaBarbera’s Humber College Student Jazz Ensemble gets things going before the Harley Card CD release at 9:30 pm.
Tonight Cuban pianist Amaury Figueredo is in at the Opal Jazz Lounge.
The Pilot has the Roberto Occhipinti Quartet in Saturday afternoon from 3:30 – 6:30 pm.
An finally, at the Dominion on Queen tonight you can catch the Jack Zorawski Quartet at 8:30 pm.
