🎶 *From Rio to late Soviet dreams…*

We’ll be playing “Manhã de Carnaval” from Black Orpheus — a film that brought the myth of Orpheus into the streets of Rio during Carnival, blending tragedy, color, and one of the most iconic soundtracks in cinema history.

On April 4, you’ll also hear music from Black Rose – Emblem of Sorrow, Red Rose – Emblem of Love — a bold, surreal manifesto of a collapsing world, where aristocratic ghosts meet underground rock and everything feels like the last dance before a new era.

✨ Plus:
– a song from the beloved Soviet cartoon *Umka*
– music set to poetry by Alexander Pushkin and Vladimir Mayakovsky
– bossa nova interpretations of Sade, Modern Talking, Sting, and Frank Sinatra

…and more.

Come listen. It’s going to be a special night. 🎷

📍 Pink Piano Cafe & Lounge, Lower Sackville

We say that how you start the New Year sets the tone for everything that follows.

If that’s true, Gentle Tides couldn’t have asked for a better beginning.
We welcomed the year on the stage of one of the city’s finest restaurants — playing music we love, with incredible musicians, for a responsive and attentive audience. We were so immersed in the music and in creating the atmosphere that we completely forgot to record anything 🙂

Gentle Tides is a smooth jazz project that started less than a year ago, and in that time we’ve played festivals, concert venues, corporate events, casinos, and intimate spaces across the city. The pace of growth is inspiring — and a little scary — but moments like this remind us why we do it.

Wishing everyone a New Year filled with what you truly love ✨
How did you welcome 2026?

Wondering what to expect? Here’s a short sneak peek from our jam yesterday 🎶

Great food, delicious cocktails, and a warm, cozy and jazzy atmosphere — perfect for smoothly sliding into the new year 🥂

🎶 We’re excited to be heading to Antigonish Jazz Festival this Friday!

A huge thank-you to the organizers for inviting us — it’s such a pleasure to be part of this beautiful celebration of live music and community. 💛

Sadly, our dear guitarist Alex Maizlish won’t be able to join us this time. But we’re very grateful to Jake Hanlon, who stepped in and agreed to play with us on short notice — helping us keep the music flowing! 🙌

And in the best traditions of jazz, this means there will be even more improvisation than we planned 😉🎸

Can’t wait to share our smooth ethno-jazz and bossa nova vibes with you all in Antigonish! 🌊🎵
