SUMMARY:Scott Smith's Adventures in Pedal Steel
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nBorn of Scott Smith’s popular monthly show at Vancouver venues The Heatley and The Painted Ship\, Adventures in Pedal Steel spotlights the instrument in all kinds of genres\, from country\, soul\, indie-folk\, and gospel\, to wherever its beautifully arcing\, aching shimmer can be found. With a crack band at his side\, a revolving cast of fantastic guest singers\, and an entirely different song list each month\, the prolific and versatile Smith’s “Steel Nights” are a must-see for local music fans and a community hub for Vancouver’s busiest musicians to catch up with old friends and maybe sing a few Gram Parsons’ songs with the band. Alongside fellow adventurers Paul Pigat guitar\, Jeremy Holmes bass\, and Liam MacDonald drums\, Smith will play classic pedal steel instrumentals\, songs featuring the earthy\, pure tones of vocalist Marin Patenaude\, and selections from Smith’s ambient pedal steel album Lifeboat: Explorations in Pedal Steel.

SUMMARY:The Messthetics & James Brandon Lewis
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \nOne of the most iconic rhythm sections in modern music\, drummer Brendan Canty and bassist Joe Lally were the insistent engine of DC post-hardcore legends Fugazi for over 15 years. In 2016\, they formed Messthetics with guitar virtuoso Anthony Pirog\, and released two albums of turbulent\, propulsive\, groove-laden instrumental art rock. Drawing on jazz\, punk\, dub\, and free improv\, they’re equally at home in an expansive take on Sonny Sharrock’s “Once Upon a Time” as they are in blazing\, math-metal riff barrages. \nIn late-2021\, they were joined onstage by acclaimed saxophonist James Brandon Lewis\, and sparks flew. Lally recalls a full-throttle passage when Lewis and Pirog began trading solos. As the intensity escalated\, the bassist felt simultaneously challenged and exhilarated. “You’re just holding on and going\, it sounds great\,” he remembers telling himself. “Just keep going!” Thankfully for fans of next-level\, genre-defying music\, they have. Called “one of the modern titans of the tenor” by All About Jazz\, the ecstatic fervour of James Brandon Lewis’ playing points back to John Coltrane\, Pharoah Sanders\, and the rich tradition of the Impulse! label–a tradition that the combustive quartet is now a part of with their eponymous 2024 release. For his part\, Lewis relishes the chance to plug into the power of the Messthetics’ punk-adjacent milieu\, calling their provocative real-time musical conversation a “high point of musical bonding and purely unapologetic energy! When you hear the Messthetics by themselves\, that shit is cranking. And I’m always signing up to crank.” \nNo refunds.

SUMMARY:Y La Bamba
DESCRIPTION:750 Hornby St\, Vancouver\, BC V6Z 2H7 \nDrawing from a myriad of influences—from Mexican tunes from the 1930s to the experimental folk of recent collaborator Devendra Banhart—Y La Bamba ”suffuses their dream pop soundscapes with beguiling cumbia and mariachi rhythms” (Rolling Stone). Their seventh album\, Lucha\, explores multiplicity—love\, queerness\, Mexican American and Chicanx identity\, family\, intimacy\, yearning\, loneliness—and chronicles a period of struggle and growth for lead vocalist and producer Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos. \nAt the advent of COVID-19 lockdowns\, Mendoza Ramos moved from Portland\, Oregon to Mexico City\, and in returning to her parents’ home country\, she revisited a lineage marred by violence and silence\, while simultaneously deepening relationships with loved ones and herself. Full of vulnerability and pathos\, it’s a battle cry in the fight to be seen and to be accepted\, if not celebrated\, as a full self\, in anger and compassion\, externally and internally\, individually and societally. \nLucha is as sonically sprawling and bold as its subject matter. Whether laying spoken word poetry into a minimal\, avant-garde soundscape\, or building intricate trestles of experimental pop and bossa nova rhythms for their melodic guitar interplay\, “Mendoza is becoming a visionary\, and her band continues to intrigue as it evolves” (NPR Music).

SUMMARY:GEORGE
DESCRIPTION:750 Hornby St\, Vancouver\, BC V6Z 2H7 \nFrom vintage funk to infectious electronic futurism\, this energetically enigmatic group “likes to blur the distinctions between the knotty virtuosity of jazz and the broad appeal of pop” (Pitchfork). Known as the leader of the prolific and constantly surprising Claudia Quintet\, drummer/composer/bandleader John Hollenbeck formed GEORGE remotely during the pandemic. The group finally met in Montréal to record 2023’s Letters to George\, followed that summer by shorts\, four re-composed remixes based on improvisations from their initial remote recording session. With Anna Webber tenor sax/flute\, Sarah Rossy voice/keyboards\, and Chiquita Magic keyboards/voice alongside Hollenbeck\, GEORGE’s sound is firmly planted outside any categories or labels\, but “magic happens in the margins and the middle\, between analog and digital textures\, genre detours and a collective will which is dogmatically subject to change” (DownBeat).

SUMMARY:The Peggy Lee Band
DESCRIPTION:750 Hornby St\, Vancouver\, BC V6Z 2H7 \n“There’s something remarkable about how Peggy Lee achieves a seamlessly orchestrated sound from a concoction of avant-garde\, folk\, modern jazz\, chamber\, and ambient musics. Even during the moments of dissonance\, there’s a peaceful flow that borders on enchantment” (Bandcamp Daily). \nFormed in 1998\, this melody-driven ensemble is cellist Peggy Lee’s vehicle for exploring improvisation within composition while spotlighting the idiosyncratic\, brilliant individual voices that make up the group. Peggy wanted to bring together some of her favourite players who\, at the time\, hadn’t played a lot with each other. Over the years\, with six records released\, the individual voices have remained vivid and compelling while the overall ensemble sound has developed into its own rich entity. With Brad Turner trumpet\, Jon Bentley tenor sax\, Jeremy Berkman trombone\, Tony Wilson electric guitar\, Ron Samworth electric guitar\, André Lachance bass\, Dylan van der Schyff drums.

SUMMARY:Aquiles Navarro & Tcheser Holmes
DESCRIPTION:Afro-Caribbean improvisational trumpet-and-percussion duo Aquiles Navarro and Tcheser Holmes\, are longtime friends\, collaborators\, devotees of New York City’s creative music scenes\, and members of celebrated free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements. In September of 2014\, Navarro and Holmes self released an album of improvisations that they’d recorded in Panama earlier that summer. The following spring\, they were invited to perform at The Silent Barn in Brooklyn\, an event organized by Musicians Against Police Brutality as a benefit for the family of Akai Gurley (a Black man who was killed by a NYPD officer). The duo took the stage immediately before a formalizing performance by Camae Ayewa (aka Moor Mother)\, Keir Neuringer and Luke Stewart\, a trio that would soon adopt the name Irreversible Entanglements\, as well as Navarro and Holmes themselves. \nIn the Fall of 2019\, Navarro and Holmes went into the studio again\, booking two after-hours sessions at Brooklyn’s S1 Studios. The resulting album – Heritage of the Invisible II – reveals Navarro and Holmes stepping firmly into the limelight of progressive music-making. \nAquiles Navarro on trumpet & Tcheser Holmes on drums.

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:Irreversible Entanglements
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \nA free jazz quintet with an experimental punk mentality\, Irreversible Entanglements is “the most thrilling band in jazz right now” (NPR). Driven by poet/vocalist Camae Ayewa’s (aka Moor Mother) searing narrations of Black trauma\, survival\, and power\, Irreversible Entanglements brings first-wave free jazz’s tradition of resistance acutely into the now. This is deeply improvised rhythm music full of love\, protest\, and social commitment; IE are honouring the past\, speaking to the present\, and making sonic claims on the future. Featuring bassist Luke Stewart\, saxophonist Keir Neuringer\, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro\, and drummer Tcheser Holmes\, their new album Protect Your Light — on the legendary Impulse! Label — is “a major statement from artists who are as much the new wave of jazz as John Coltrane\, Albert Ayler\, Archie Shepp et al were in their day.” – The Wire \nIE came together spontaneously\, organically\, in April of 2015 at Musicians Against Police Brutality\, a day of protest sound and discussion in Brooklyn. All were artists and activists of varying degrees: Philadelphia-based Ayewa and Neuringer\, and D.C.-based Stewart as veterans of the Mid-Atlantic noise-hardcore-experimental scene\, while Holmes and Navarro as recent New England Conservatory grads. The studio albums that followed—2020’s Who Sent You? and 2021’s Open The Gates—developed this legend further. \nIn 2023\, IE signed to Impulse! Records and released its most accomplished work to date\, Protect Your Light\, primarily recorded at New Jersey’s historic Van Gelder Studios. It features eight examples of how IE’s collaborative composition strategies and Ayewa’s in-communion verses result in some of the most potent music being made in the now\, music with communal light and love at its heart.  \nNo refunds.

SUMMARY:Kassa Overall
DESCRIPTION:750 Hornby St\, Vancouver\, BC V6Z 2H7 \n“Raw\, underground\, and chaotic\,” Kassa Overall is “one of modern jazz music’s most audacious futurists” (Pitchfork). The GRAMMY-nominated emcee\, singer\, producer and drummer melds avant-garde experimentation with hip-hop production techniques to tilt the nexus of jazz and rap in unmapped directions. Since his 2019 debut\, Overall has established himself as a rhythmic innovator and a visionary poet who addresses the injustices of the carceral system\, the pharmaceutical industry\, and anti-black racism\, while wrangling with the perils of his own mental illness. On ANIMALS\, his 2024 album on Warp Records\, Kassa pushes his kaleidoscopic\, subversive vision further\, layering Roland 808s against avant-garde drumming—in the vein of his mentors Elvin Jones and Billy Hart—alongside all-star collaborators like Danny Brown\, Lil B\, Nick Hakim\, Laura Mvula\, Vijay Iyer\, and Shabazz Palaces. ANIMALS pushes Kassa’s lyrical message further\, too. As an entertainer and as a black man in America\, he reckons with the two-sided truth that to perform one’s freedom for an audience can mean succumbing to life inside a cage. \nKassa’s joined by Tomoki Sanders soprano sax\, drums and percussion\, Bendji Allonce congas and percussion\, and Matt Wong keys.

SUMMARY:Juana Molina
DESCRIPTION:750 Hornby St\, Vancouver\, BC V6Z 2H7 \nThough it may sound hyperbolic\, The Wire deemed Juana Molina’s music “essential for all humans on planet Earth.” We assure you that this is not an overblown assessment. A master of mysterious experimental pop\, Juana Molina is one of modern music’s most original and visionary artists. Her career trajectory has been unique\, from massive success in the 1990s as a comedic actress in her native Argentina\, to the forging of an inimitable\, off-kilter style of music that contains—but is not constrained by—elements of folk\, ambient\, and electronica. \n“Creating a slippery soundtrack for the subconscious” (Spin)\, Juana Molina’s hypnotic performances combine live loops\, effects created on-the-fly\, and deft guitar playing that “dips deep into the unknown and brings back unexpected brilliance” (MOJO).

SUMMARY:Biboye Onanuga Quartet
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nBiboye Onanuga is an imaginative British-born\, Nigerian-Canadian drummer and composer. A recent MacEwan University Music graduate\, Biboye has quickly become a key figure in the Edmonton scene through his instrumental hip-hop/jazz band Good Information and the two-year (so far) tenure of his weekly music series\, New Standards. \nInspired by innovators like Ambrose Akinmusire\, Jamire Williams\, and Mikel Patrick Avery\, Biboye uses instrumental music’s abstract\, ephemeral essence to reflect life in a modern world built for speed\, with a heart built for the calmer pace of human connection. Finding its voice somewhere between jazz and hip-hop\, Onanuga’s quartet bends and leans into a spiritual aesthetic and submits itself to the moment. With Christopher Fraser guitar\, Chad Galpin bass\, and Josh Krushel keys.
