ComPosition Artist & Experience Marketing is pleased to present this 

special Toronto performance of Baltimore underground jazz/soul legends 

FERTILE GROUND.  This world-renowned 7-piece powerhourse will start 

their 4-city 2006 Canadian mini-tour on Friday, January 27 at The El 

Mocambo Upstairs.

One of the most respected and conscious American ensembles of its kind 

of the last 25 years, Fertile Ground has previous seduced Toronto in 

2004 at Harbourfront's Beats, Breaks and Culture; and in 2001 at Una Mas

 for their legendary Downtown Jazz Festival show.  Featuring the husband-and-wife

 team of visionary bandleader James Collins and ultra-magnetic singer 

Navasha Daya (with NYC drum legend Mark Prince of Steve Coleman's M-base

 Collective) the vibe of a Fertile Ground room goes beyond great music 

to a place of joy and transcendence. 

Welcoming these American soul-jazz giants with Canada's finest will be 

NOW Magazines 2005 Jazz Artist of the Year NICK BROWNMAN ALI, leading 

jazz-freestyle explorers Brownman & GRUVASYLUM featuring one of Canada's

 finest freestyle rappers, MC Enlight; and Marcus Ali on sax.This will 

Brownmans first big Toronto show after seven weeks on tour in Latin 

America, so one can be sure hell be blazing for the home crowd!  Also 

joining the party are female DJ pioneers and impresarias DJ Chocolate of

 CKLN 88.1 and DJ Dalia from CHRY 105.5

A portion of proceeds from this special show will be donated to The Meal

 Exchange.  Since 1993, this organization has helped students on 45 

campuses across Canada facilitate the student donation of over 378,000 

meals to address local hunger.  We are proud to support such a worthy 

cause in light of the rising tuitions and housing costs that are 

compromising the learning and living experiences for so many students in

 Toronto and across the country.   For more info on our charitable
