Friday jazz at Alpha features DUSK- Pete Woods and Miguel Angel De Armas: Mixing classic jazz repertoire with rhythms and harmonies that swing spontaneously from casual to intense, the duo creates a refreshing groove every time they play. Pete’s vintage sound, blues-rooted and swinging, finds its way into countless Ottawa venues. He plays the tenor, soprano and alto saxophones with candour and compassion. Havana’s Miguel Angel De Armas (son of another famous M.D.A.) has taken Ottawa’s jazz community by storm over the past six months: kind yet fearless on the piano/keyboard, Miguel explores songs with both curiosity and grace. Together they happily weave a musical spell that is perfect at dusk: gentle, musing, meditative, passionate, entertaining, conversational. Join them at Alpha for an evening of art and music...and fine cocktails.
