**NEW ALBUM** The Ecstasy of Becoming by Flying Pooka!
October 6, 2023

Juno-winning pianist and composer Florian Hoefner and interdisciplinary wind and vocal improviser Dani Oore have joined forces for their NEW album, The Ecstasy of Becoming.

The album, born from an unexpected musical synergy discovered during the pandemic on the remote island of St. John's, features fully improvised music that seamlessly blends tonality and shifting harmonies. This collaboration, inspired by the Celtic and Northern European myth of the Flying Pooka, promises a transformative and ethereal musical journey, combining Oore's soulful saxophone and impassioned vocals with Hoefner's complex harmonies and soundscapes.

The album's release will be followed by Canada-wide tours, allowing audiences to experience the evolution of their sonic palette.

"...a disc to die for."
Raul Da Gama, That Canadian Mag

Adi Braun's love affair with the music of Cole Porter runs long and deep. The acclaimed Toronto jazz and cabaret chanteuse has long covered his tunes in her performances and on record. She describes the music of her favorite Great American Songbook writer as "delicious, a great combination of naughty, provocative, sensuous, witty and devastatingly beautiful. I am also smitten by the fact that he wrote both lyrics and music, and his use of sexy Latin beats and rhythms is another major drawing card for me.
