Digital Jazz Hotline #49

Over the holiday break vice-regal Julie Payette announced her first round of appointments of Order of Canada recipients. We’re thrilled to see Vancouver’s own Oliver Gannon honoured as a new member. As luck would have it, Oliver is playing two nights this week at Frankie’s Jazz Club, for a live recording on Friday and Saturday.

Lot’s more to see this week in Vancouver to start your New Year off with a bang…
