1601 Johnston St, Vancouver, BC V6H 3R9

An evening of attuned explorations, transformative energy, and open-hearted creativity. Belgian bassist Farida Amadou uses electronics and extended technique to conjure abstracted sounds that move from miniscule to overwhelming. A cellist of remarkable imagination and ingenuity, Peggy Lee is known for her sublime compositions and collaborations with Wayne Horvitz, Mary Margaret O’Hara, and Dave Douglas. “If the new improvisational movement means to convey the spirit of jazz without reiterating its stylistic clichés, then pianist Lisa Cay Miller deserves to be considered one of its leading lights” (Globe and Mail). Using baritone sax, voice, and electronics, Montreal-based Ida Toninato is “a marvel of technique and emotion” (Exclaim) with an ear for the unknown and a deep interest in sonic phenomena, while eclectic drummer Mili Hong (The Watermill Project, Moondle) is a quickly-emerging presence on the national jazz scene.

Co-produced with the NOW Society.
