SUMMARY:Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves Celebrate John Coltrane
DESCRIPTION:In September 2026\, the jazz world marks the centennial of one of its greatest musicians: John Coltrane. To honour his enduring legacy\, luminaries Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves unite for a remarkable tribute\, revisiting Coltrane’s 1963 collaboration with Johnny Hartman. \nThree-time Grammy winner and saxophonist Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. Returning to the Chan Centre for the first time in a decade\, for this concert\, he leads his celebrated quartet. Over three decades\, the powerhouse ensemble has become revered for its uncompromising interpretations and fearless\, deeply expressive performances. \nReeves has been praised by The New York Times as “the most admired jazz diva since the heyday of Sarah Vaughan\, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.” A five-time Grammy winner and the pre-eminent jazz vocalist of her generation\, she brings unparalleled virtuosity and emotional depth. Her career-defining collaborations and improvisational prowess have set a benchmark in vocal jazz. Reeves was last at the Chan Centre in 2020\, and this performance will mark her third appearance. \nBoth Marsalis and Reeves have been designated a Jazz Master by The National Endowment for the Arts—the highest honour the United States bestows on jazz artists. \nTogether\, this unparalleled duo will celebrate the singular genius of Coltrane with one of his most intimate and emotionally resonant records. \nCo-presented with the Chan Centre.

SUMMARY:The Bad Plus
DESCRIPTION:After 27 years of reshaping what a jazz group could be\, The Bad Plus says goodbye. Catch one of the final shows on their international farewell tour before the band closes its story for good this December. \nKnown for pulling rock’s energy\, improvisational freedom\, and an irreverent\, genre-blind sense of humour into one sound\, The Bad Plus built a reputation as one of the most distinctive acts in modern jazz\, equally at home covering Nirvana as reinventing Stravinsky. The current lineup\, founding members Reid Anderson bass and Dave King drums with Ben Monder guitar and Chris Speed saxophone\, has spent the past two years touring farewell dates across North America\, Europe\, Japan\, and Australia. Vancouver is one of their last stops before the band closes things out in Minneapolis\, where it all began. \nThis is your last chance to hear them live. \nAccessibility: Tickets are general admission with a combination of standing room\, theatre soft seats\, and bar stools. Seating is limited\, and available only on a first-come\, first-serve basis. We encourage you to get on the dance floor!
