Andre Canniere Group - September 23rd @ Kavehaz 6:00pm - 9:00pm

The Andre Canniere Group, formed in early 2005, performs challenging yet accessible music full of evocative harmonic explorations and insinuating grooves. Much of the music, all of which is composed by Canniere, is rooted in jazz, but also draws heavily upon other genres including pop, classical, folk and world music. Recently the group was in the studio working on their first recording, which will be available in late 2005.
