THE GREAT CLASSICAL JOINT REUNION

Hey jazz fans! The Joint is jumpin’ once again! A sure-to-be-memorable night, the Great Classical Joint Reunion will bring Vancouver musicians and fans together in a tribute to Vancouver's legendary Classical Joint and to its longtime proprietor Andreas Nothiger. ‘The Joint,’ an intimate space on Carrall Street that closed in 1990, was home to some of the greatest musicians in the city for over 20 years. The reunion will feature a rhythm section of Classical Joint all-stars (including the great pianist Chris Sigerson, bassist Ken Lister, guitarist Michael Guild, and drummer Craig Scott) backing up a glittering array of players in a fantastic jam session. The ever-growing list of special guests includes the likes of Gavin Walker, Sal Ferreras, Alan Matheson, Michael Dunn, Bruce Freedman, Joani Taylor, Tom Keenlyside, Raphael Geronimo, Ron Samworth, Saul Berson, Marke Andrews, and Coat Cooke. And look forward to appearances by legendary Classical Joint bands like Oscar Nieto’s Flamenco Heresy. There will be lots of familiar faces, some Joint memorabilia, ‘dark coffees,’ and much more. So let's get this party started! Co-curated with Kate Hammett-Vaughan, Colleen Savage, and Mariken van Nimwegan. Painting of the Classical Joint is by Mariken van Nimwegen.
