| With Jane's passionate soprano sax and flute (she's won numerous TDWR polls on both) weaving through the hypnotic rhythms laid down by her Cuban compatriots, this band - which can tour as a quintet or sextet - is HOT! Jane's connection to Cuba is authentic, as shown in the acclaimed full-length documentary Spirits of Havana, shot in Cuba by the National Film Board of Canada, and now available on DVD. After earning Grammy nominations for Best Latin Jazz CD for her Blue Note recordings Alma de Santiago and Cuban Odyssey, Jane's newest EMI CD, Embracing Voices, features the Cuban-Haitian choir Desandann and recently got a rare 4-1/2 star review in "Downbeat". In addition to Spirits of Havana, Jane can also tour with the Cuban Piano Masters, featuring Guillermo Rubalcaba (Gonzalo's father!), Hilario Duran and Elio Villafranca. Regardless of context, count on Jane to get your audience moving and grooving and still satisfy serious listeners. |
