Kate Hammett-Vaughan Quintet

With: Kate Hammett-Vaughan (Vox), Chris Gestrin (Piano), André Lachance (Bass), Tom Foster (Drums), Jon Bentley (Tenor Saxophone).

One of Canada’s most distinctive jazz artists, Vancouver-based Hammett-Vaughan is adventurous and assured, and her hip vocals have earned her three Juno nominations. CODA magazine calls her simply “the finest jazz standards singer in Canada.” Through soul-searching ballads, swinging standards, and freewheeling sonic explorations, Hammett-Vaughan‘s quintet is simply remarkable.
