His passion for Jazz, World and Electronic music keeps Bassist / Audio
Producer Rubim de Toledos music constantly evolving in new directions.
Best known as bassist for the Latin-Jazz group Bomba and as founder of the
improv/groove collective reClaim, Rubim, Canadian-born of Brazilian decent,
is a modern musician who values the rich traditions and roots of all music
he performs.
With Bomba, Rubim has performed at every major music festival in Canada and
has traveled to Havana, the U.S.A. and Korea. They have won several Indie
music awards as well as CBCs Rising Star Award.
In the fall of 2003, Rubim formed the Improv Collective reClaim. This group
performed for 2 and a half years in Edmontons diverse Black Dog Freehouse
and recorded 2 live CDs. These CDs gained critical and public acclaim and
were embraced by Indie college radio stations across Canada.
After being commissioned by Calgarys Decidedly Jazz Danceworks(DJD) to
compose music for their production entitled In Charcoal and Crimson, Rubim
took his distinctively selected band into the studio to document this music
and in May of 2006 Rubim released In Charcoal and Crimson, his first solo
album.
In Charcoal and Crimson is an eclectic marriage of Chilled Jazz tracks and
live Drum n Bass beats incorporating Brazilian influences. Sonically, the
album keeps the listener (musician or not) always engaged with the main
instrumentation being Acoustic Bass, Drums, Muted Trumpet, Rhodes, Vibes,
Guitar and Turntablisms.
With a new cd release of Brazilian-Jazz, Cuban-Jazz and Traditional-Jazz
pending, Rubim proves to be an active, multifaceted and evolving musician in
the Canadian arts scene.
