Vancouver-based saxophonist Erika Chow’s General Assembly is a new ensemble dedicated to playing the music of the late, great, Wayne Shorter. The group made its debut in August, 2025 as a quartet, but has recently expanded to a quintet, adding trumpet to allow the band to explore more of Shorter’s extensive repertoire. From the early 60s Jazz Messengers, to Miles’ Second Great Quintet, to the pioneering jazz fusion of Weather Report and beyond, Wayne Shorter helped shape one of the most innovative and influential periods in jazz history. With RJ Abella trumpet, Jancis Bautista piano, Dan Howard bass, and Jordy McIntosh drums, Erika Chow’s General Assembly keeps that spirit alive and adventurous.
