We at Jazz From Bloomington (www.jazzfrombloomington.org) thought that the Department of Communications and Culture would be interested in this exciting event. Jane Bunnett is a Toronto born soprano saxophonist, flutist, composer and band leader, and has built her career at the crossroads of Cuban music and jazz. Her Latin-jazz album, Cuban Odyssey, was nominated for a Grammy in 2003.
