Jazz diva Sophie Milman did a quick promotional concert for the release of her second CD, Take Love Easy, at First Canadian Place's indoor Waterfall Stage on Thurs. Afterwards she did a CD signing session at the HMV store across form the stage.
She treated the noontime audience to a very generous set, singing most of the album while accompanied by a first rate band that included many of Toronto's top session players including Kieran Overs and Roberto Occhipiniti.
Sophie's love of the music is always right there on stage. She often seems to fall into a kind of joyful reverie mid-song as she listens to the interplay of the the various instruments during solo passages.
Her new album is red-hot at the moment, debuting at #1 on the iTunes Canada Jazz chart. Sophie’s heart-wrenching take on “I Can’t Make You Love Me” sits as the #1 Jazz Single, with tracks “Take Love Easy”, “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” and “My One and Only Love” also charting in the Top 10.
Next up for the free noontime First Canadian Place concerts will be teen jazz sensation Nikki Yanofsky on May 13 (again, she will be doing a CD signing session at HMV after the show), the high energy boogie piano of Michael Kaeshammer on May 19, with more concerts coming for the summer when the series moves outdoors.
All concerts start at 12:15 PM
