Discoveries Vol. 7 is hosted and curated by Jesse Ryan, a Trinidadian-born, JUNO-nominatedsaxophonist and leader of the The Kaiso Street Legacy Ensemble, whose main focus is
presenting fresh arrangements of music from the golden age of calypso, re-imagined through
the lens of modern jazz. Rooted in storytelling and cultural preservation, the group bridges eras
of Caribbean creativity through dynamic performances and musical excellence. Their current
project reimagines the groundbreaking Caribana ’67 concert – Toronto’s first major Calypso
showcase held on Centre Island – bringing new life to the sounds that helped shape the city’s
cultural identity. The ensemble also features Steve Clarke (voice), Alexis Baro (trumpet), Paul
Tarusov (trombone), Ewen Farncombe (piano), Jullian Anderson-Bowes (bass), Amhed Mitchel
(drums) and Derek Thorne (percussion). The Kaiso Street Legacy Ensemble will be performing
during the second half of the show. For the first half, Jesse Ryan has curated a lineup of young
Caribbean-Canadian and Latino-Canadian artists to truly showcase global sounds and talent.
