Adam Solomon is a member of the Juno award-winning African Guitar Summit and has recorded two albums with the group, titled African Guitar Summit I and II.
The African Blues and Jazz Trio features Adam Solomon on guitar and vocals, bassist Conrad Henderson and Phil Caffery on the drum kit.
Conrad Henderson is an electric and contrabassist and music educator from Melbourne Australia. He is adept in many styles including jazz, Latin, African, Caribbean, R&B and funk. He has performed in
various parts of the world and for renowned events.
Phil Caffery is new to Toronto, moving from Providence, Rhode Island, where he taught drums and performed regularly in clubs throughout New England. He was trained in jazz and performed in concert bands and in pit orchestras for numerous theater productions.
Hirut Café specializes in Ethiopian cuisine, a friendly atmosphere and live music on the weekends. The café is a cozy room that holds a maximum of 50 people.
