SUMMARY:TIME FLIES
DESCRIPTION:Coastal Jazz co-founder Ken Pickering started the TIME FLIES series back in 1988. In 2001\, German bassist Torsten Müller had moved to Vancouver and began co-curating TIME FLIES as “company-style” improvising ensembles of local and visiting artists playing in various configurations through the evening—duos\, trios\, and whatever combinations sparked interest. While Derek Bailey’s renowned company approach was about instigating intriguing conflicts\, Torsten’s focus is on assembling complementary players and cultivating connection. A “summit meeting” of improvisers\, TIME FLIES calls on acclaimed adventurers from around town and around the globe\, mixing emerging artists with veterans of the jazz\, avant-garde\, and creative improvisation communities. \n\nThe 2026 edition will feature Müller as well as Coastal Jazz Artist in Residence Patrick Shiroishi saxophone; Toronto-based saxophonist Karen Ng; Lina Nyberg\, one of Sweden’s most creative and innovative jazz vocalists; vanguard Brooklyn-based guitarist Steve Gunn; Australian accordionist Anthony Schulz\, who has performed with Barre Phillips\, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra\, and more; Aysha Dulong\, who works with acoustic and electronic instruments in a hybridized model to explore how sound can embody lived experiences; and JUNO Award-winning West Coast violinist Meredith Bates (Gentle Party).
