SUMMARY:Journeys to the Bandstand - A Conversation with Author Chris Wong
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nRhythm Changes writer\, podcast host\, and musician Will Chernoff hosts a conversation with author Chris Wong\, whose new book\, Journeys to the Bandstand: Thirty Jazz Lives in Vancouver\, chronicles the creative lives and musical journeys of 30 extraordinary artists who have helped shape Canada’s West Coast jazz scene. Wong dedicates each chapter to one remarkable artist\, or a small group of impactful musicians mostly based in Vancouver\, as well as some American musicians who have made an indelible impression on the city’s jazz community. Journeys to the Bandstand weaves a first-person perspective with extensive written and audio-visual history gathered from articles\, books\, letters\, recordings\, films\, and more. It is a compelling collection of long-form portraits and an incomparable chronology of key events in Vancouver’s jazz history. A self-professed lifelong music nerd and aficionado of jazz and other genres. Journeys to the Bandstand is Wong’s first book\, a passion project honed over more than a decade.

SUMMARY:SUMAC with Moor Mother
DESCRIPTION:147 E Pender St\, Vancouver\, BC V6A 1T5 \nSUMAC \nIn a time of significant social upheaval\, SUMAC pushes further into the extreme polarity of their expressionistic metal\, fluctuating between meticulous discipline on one end\, and untethered feral energy on the other. This navigation of chaos and control is a testament to the technical skills and tour-honed collective intuition of guitarist/vocalist Aaron Turner (Isis\, Old Man Gloom\, Mamiffer)\, drummer Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists)\, and bassist Brian Cook (Russian Circles\, These Arms Are Snakes). \nTheir humanistic lyrics strike a compassionate tone that stands in stark contrast to the misanthropy of some heavy music\, and their sonic approach is akin to free jazz or abstract noise\, where the emotional resonance isn’t bound up in melody as much as in performance. Fusing heavy riffage\, knotty structures\, and expressionistic forays into epic\, wildly dynamic narrative arcs\, the music of SUMAC is by no means a salve or anodyne\, but neither is it nihilistic. Rather\, it’s like a confrontation\, a baptism by fire\, a therapeutic razing. Ultimately\, it’s a reminder of the life force that binds us together\, and a clarion call to be an active participant in an evolving world. \n \nMoor Mother \nHow do you engage the stunning\, evocative\, haunting gift that is Moor Mother’s latest album The Great Bailout? Only by following the trail of potent verbal and sonic poetry. Only by letting Moor Mother be your guide. \nReleased March 8\, The Great Bailout is Moor Mother aka Camae Ayewa’s ninth studio album\, and third with ANTI- Records. Called “the poet laureate of the apocalypse\,” by Pitchfork\, Ayewa’s music contains multitudes of instruments\, voices\, and cacophony that take on themes of Afrofuturism\, colonialism\, commerce and collective memory with the forebearers of jazz\, hip hop\, and beat poetry in mind. \nMoor Mother is presented by Coastal Jazz in association with Queer Arts Festival. \nPlease note this venue is stair access only. 19+. No refunds.

SUMMARY:FROM NEW YORK: LEZLIE HARRISON
DESCRIPTION:Lezlie Harrison is her own personal renaissance. Her constant state of evolution and growth brings with it\, gifts for those paying attention. As a vocalist both bold and subtle\, her vulnerability attends to the fragile matters of our collective human affairs while her optimistic momentum inspires us to rise above any tribulation to rejoice. Be it Jazz\, Blues\, Gospel\, Soul\, The American Song Form\, original compositions\, or any song in ANY form\, Ms. Harrison will imbue it with her distinctive stamp and make a very personal delivery. \nIn 2023 Harrison recorded Let Them Talk for Vancouver’s Cellar Music Group. “The songs I selected for this album share a message of bringing us together in our collective human experience. The music moves us in the way a preacher moves their congregation. We get up off our feet and hold on to the words and what they stir in us. We are transported to the absolute truth of the moment where we can join in the experience together. This is what the world needs right now\, and it is what I want…” \nWith Chris Gestrin hammond organ\, Alvin Brendan guitar\, and Jesse Cahill drums.

SUMMARY:Garret T. Willie
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \n“Canada’s next big thing in down-and-dirty rockin’ blues guitardom” — Toronto Star \nGarret T. Willie’s gives rock ‘n’ roll a formidable 21st-century kick in the ass with his heartbreaking and hilarious stories\, hardscrabble blues\, and hard-stomping rock ‘n’ roll. Hailing from Kingcome Inlet\, off the coast of BC\, the uncommonly wise\, witty and weathered 23-year-old’s heavy back story gives him more right than most to sing the blues\, but there’s a helluva lot of raunchy fun going on alongside the exorcisms of tragedy and trauma. \nWillie knows what makes the blues tick. Schooled in all the right source material\, from Howlin’ Wolf\, Albert King\, and Muddy Waters\, to Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee\, to the Stones\, AC/DC\, and George Thorogood\, with a little outlaw country flavour on the side\, Garret T. Willie doesn’t just rip it up on the guitar\, he does it with the gut-busting honesty of someone who understands that if you ain’t lived it\, you shouldn’t sing it. \nPresented in association with Talking Stick Festival.
