Monday, March 7, 2022 – Following their latest release “Secret Places” (March 4), Canadian jazz singer Sharon Azrieli and band embark on a North American tour across Canada and the United States this March.
A tribute album to Oscar-winning film composer Michel Legrand, “Secret Places” is a whimsical, romantic journey which is given the ultimate treatment by two seasoned and endlessly creative jazz artists – Sharon Azrieli alongside arranger and renowned Israeli-American jazz pianist Tamir Hendelman. Listen to the album here.
The music of French composer Michel Legrand (1932-2019) ushers one back into the heyday of film. Instantly recognizable lush strings and playful brass greet the listener’s ear at every turn.
“Secret Places” focuses on Legrand’s songbook, which is equally at home onscreen and in a jazz club. Azrieli’s tour will surely be a special opportunity to hear Legrand’s music live and in some of the best jazz clubs in Canada and the United States.
Tamir Hendelman joins Azrieli and band for this six-city tour. Hendelman brings his experience performing with the Jeff Hamilton Trio, the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, Harry Allen, Teddy Edwards, Warren Vaché, Houston Person, Jeff Clayton, and more to this uplifting series of performances.

- Thursday, March 10 Hermann’s Jazz Club in Victoria, BC
- Sunday, March 13 Frankie’s Jazz Club in Vancouver, BC
- Tuesday, March 15 Yardbird Suite in Edmonton, AB
