SUMMARY:Daniel Wilfred\, David Wilfred\, and Peter Knight (of Hand to Earth) Artist Talk\, moderated by Meredith Bates
DESCRIPTION:Hand to Earth has quickly developed an international reputation as one of Australia’s most distinctive contemporary music ensembles\, and this workshop/discussion will feature three of its members. Daniel and David Wilfred are keepers of Yolngu Manikay\, indigenous songs from North East Arnhem Land that can be traced back more than 40\,000 years\, making them the world’s oldest continuously practised music tradition. Daniel sings of the stars\, of fire\, and of the cooling rain\, while the drone of David Wilfred’s didgeridoo and atmospheres created by trumpeter/sound artist Peter Knight make for a bold sound that Jazzwise called “testing at times\, mesmerizing at others\, but always extraordinarily intriguing in its organic synthesis of the ancient and contemporary.” \nModerated by musician\, composer and educator Meredith Bates. A JUNO Award winner with Pugs & Crows\, and a nominee for her recent solo album\, Tesseract\, she co-leads Gentle Party and Sound Migrations and founded instrumental sextet Like the Mind\, with renowned improvisors from Canada and Sweden. She’s artistic director of the Vancouver Improvised Arts Society. \nPresented in collaboration with Jazztopad Festival (National Forum of Music)\, Wroclaw\, Poland

Dramatic\, spontaneous creation and razor-sharp precision come together on stage with Romain’s longtime collaborators Jeff Gammon bass\, John Nicholson tenor and soprano saxophones\, and Feven Kidane trumpet.

SUMMARY:Kjetil Mulelid Trio
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \n“The affable and sometimes extroverted music of Mulelid shatters the popular misconception that all contemporary Scandinavian piano trios are trapped in a glacial echo chamber” – Jazz Journal \nSince their 2017 debut on the prestigious Rune Grammofon label\, the Kjetil Mulelid Trio has distinguished itself as one of Norway’s leading piano trios. While they do travel quite comfortably in the calm yet constantly unfolding sound world that is distinctively Nordic\, Mulelid\, bassist Rune Nergaard and drummer Andreas Winther\, effortlessly conjure additional layers\, tones and textures that evoke Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans\, while veering off on surprising\, telepathically-linked group improvisations that call upon each player’s broad creative experience. \nCalled “magical” by The Wire\, Mulelid’s beguiling compositions expertly balance energetic\, rhythmically complex and harmonically rich music with refreshing\, evocative melodies.

SUMMARY:Hand to Earth: The Crow
DESCRIPTION:1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nLed by vocalists Daniel Wilfred and Sunny Kim\, Hand to Earth has quickly developed an international reputation as one of Australia’s most distinctive contemporary ensembles. Daniel is a keeper of Yolngu Manikay\, indigenous songs from North East Arnhem Land that can be traced back more than 40\,000 years\, making them the world’s oldest continuously practised music tradition. Sunny moves between English and Korean\, intoning gestures that invoke the rawest of elemental forces. Together they sing of the stars\, of fire\, and of the cooling rain\, while the drone of David Wilfred’s didgeridoo and atmospheres created by trumpeter/sound artist Peter Knight\, clarinetist Aviva Endean\, and violinist Amalia Umeda draw on the minimalism of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell to create a bed for these beautifully contrasting voices. \nSonglines UK’s 5-star review of the unprecedented ensemble’s debut release raved that “while many contemporary projects strive to combine ancient and modern influences\, this innovative and ethereal musical alliance actually achieves that lofty goal – with old cultural ground being respected\, while new artistic ground is broken. Hand to Earth is a truly exquisite album.” \nPresented in collaboration with Jazztopad Festival (National Forum of Music)\, Wroclaw\, Poland \nThe Crow was co-commissioned by Melbourne International Jazz Festival and Jazztopad Festival \nDoors open at 4:30pm. “Pay What You Can” or PWYC encourages donations upon entry. Cash\, debit\, credit card and Apple pay will be accepted. Money raised goes to support Coastal Jazz. Please note – no one will be turned away for insufficient funds.

SUMMARY:aja monet
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \nThe themes on surrealist blues poet aja monet’s 2024 debut album when the poems do what they do centre around Black resistance\, love\, and the inexhaustible quest for joy. The songs are insistent and unrelenting\, with some reminiscent of jazz club virtuosity and melee while others serve as a healing balm\, moving like a call to intercessory prayer. A 2024 Grammy nominee for Best Spoken Word Poetry Album\, aja is a conduit for her oratorical predecessors. At any given time you’ll find the revolutionary spirit of Audre Lorde and the Last Poets\, you’ll feel June Jordan\, Amiri Baraka\, Jayne Cortez\, and even the expressive ephemerality of a passing blue note. \nShe cut her teeth within the walls of the legendary Nuyorican Poets Café\, where in 2007\, at age 19\, she became the youngest Grand Slam Champion in the venue’s history. Since then\, her work has continuously found new depths and new resonances. aja monet is a griot\, a storyteller\, a chronicler\, and your grandmother telling you about her first love all at once. These aren’t poems for poets\, but poems for everyone. A woman of letters and storm\, aja monet’s poems do not roar in pentameter\, but rather in storm surge\, because “who’s got time for poems when the world is on fire?!?!”  \nShe’s joined by Ben Williams bass\, Logan Richardson sax\, Justin Brown drums\, and Javier Santiago keys. \nNo refunds.

SUMMARY:Bellbird
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nDriven by concepts of isolation and resurgence\, Bellbird’s 2023 debut album Root In Tandem is the culmination of several years of composing and music-making by the Montreal-based collective of tenor saxophonist Claire Devlin\, alto saxophonist and bass clarinetist Allison Burik\, bassist Eli Davidovici\, and drummer Mili Hong. Recorded during the winter at a lakeside cottage in Saint-Zenon\, Quebec\, the album represents a communion of four distinctive spirits putting all their creative weight into a shared artwork\, using a unique instrumentation of two woodwinds\, bass\, and drums to explore sonic landscapes that allude to harmonic structures without being restricted by them. Pan M 360 called Root in Tandem “a thoughtful\, skilful achievement that balances its post-academic rigour with sincere emotional investment and some great musical ideas.”

SUMMARY:Sakina Abdou Artist Talk\, moderated by Dylan van der Schyff
DESCRIPTION:Based in Lille\, France\, saxophonist/flutist Sakina Abdou explores free improvisation and broadly experimental contemporary music with the likes of Eve Risser’s Red Desert Orchestra\, Raymond Boni\, Satoko Fujii\, Dedalus\, and the daring experimental collective\, Muzzix. Of Franco-Nigerian origin\, an upcoming collaboration will feature drummers from Niger and flutist Yacouba Moumouni\, under the auspices of CNCM Athénor. Her multifaceted sound is sometimes caustic\, sometimes full of grace and quietude\, and always full of suspense and surprise\, as evidenced on Goodbye Ground\, her debut album for the cutting edge New York label Relative Pitch Records. “She can be as fiery as she is fierce\, but what has impressed me is Abdou’s ability to bring moments of swing-derived blowing to the equation\, evoking Lee Konitz as much as Peter Brötzmann” (The Quietus). \nModerated by scholar and percussionist Dylan van der Schyff. A leading figure in the Vancouver improv and creative music scene for decades\, he’s contributed to almost 200 records\, and performed extensively with Peggy Lee\, George Lewis\, John Butcher\, Dave Douglas\, Misha Mengelberg\, Rob Mazurek\, Evan Parker\, and many others. He is now Professor (Associate) in Music at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music\, where his research focuses on developing possibilities for thought and action in practical areas such as improvisation and creativity\, performance\, and music education. \nIn association with Western Front\, with the support of the Consulate General of France in Vancouver.

SUMMARY:Sam Wilson Trio
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nCanadian guitarist/composer Sam Wilson blends finger-style guitar with the far-roving possibilities of jazz improvisation. Her current artistic muse is wild spaces and site-specific responses\, as evidenced by her upcoming release Wintertides\, featuring drummer Jen Yakamovich and bassist Geordie Hart (Malleus Trio). Written in the winter of 2022 on both the East Coast (Scotsburn\, NS) and the West Coast (at Lena Residency\, Galiano Island BC)\, it’s inspired by contrasting landscapes and the collaboration of bi-coastal communities. Her albums Into a Heart Pt. II and New Doors (Jackson/Wilson Duo) won Music Nova Scotia’s “Jazz Recording of the Year” in 2022 and 2023\, respectively. “With a lyrical sensitivity to her instrumental compositions” this rising talent on the national jazz scene “draws listeners in with subtlety and introspective levity.” – Pop Matters – Best Jazz of 2019

SUMMARY:Umeda\, Hegdal\, Stackenäs\, Naylor\, Loewen
DESCRIPTION:1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nFor Amalia Umeda\, every performance tells a big story\, for the very first time. The Polish violinist traverses a wide emotional landscape where authenticity\, raw tension\, and risk-taking are the earth\, sea\, and sky. Saxophonist/clarinetist Eirik Hegdal has worked with Jeff Parker\, Joshua Redman\, and Pat Metheny. The former artistic leader of the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra\, Hegdal has written for the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra\, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra\, and his crackling quartet\, Team Hegdal. Called “cunningly enigmatic” by Jazz Weekly\, Swedish guitarist David Stackenäs brings extended technique\, an armada of pedals\, and a novel\, disruptive approach to solo work and collaborations with avant-garde heavyweights like Thurston Moore\, Mats Gustafsson\, and Ken Vandermark. The Vancouver-born\, Berlin-based keyboardist Tyson Naylor “has an impish sense of humour that shows an affinity for the merrymakers of the ICP Orchestra. You can hear Misha Mengelberg’s spare\, subtle intervals and dry-martini wit in his playing\, though it’s Mengelberg filtered through Brad Mehldau” (Signal to Noise). A fount of expressive fire\, the multifaceted\, JUNO Award-winning drummer Kenton Loewen cut his teeth in Vancouver’s free jazz\, indie-folk\, and DIY punk underground. He’s one half of daring punk-jazz duo Peregrine Falls\, one tenth of avant-Arabic ensemble Haram\, and one hell of a drummer. \nSpecial thanks to Jazztopad Festival (National Forum of Music)\, Wroclaw\, Poland \nAmalia Umeda presented in collaboration with Jazztopad Festival (National Forum of Music)\, Wroclaw\, Poland \nDoors open at 4:30pm. “Pay what you can” or PWYC encourages donations upon entry. Cash\, debit\, credit card and Apple pay will be accepted. Money raised goes to support Coastal Jazz. Please note – no one will be turned away for insufficient funds.

SUMMARY:Lakecia Benjamin and Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \n“Benjamin exudes star-quality and authority in equal measure.” – textura \nNew York-based saxophonist\, arranger\, composer\, and bandleader Lakecia Benjamin is one of the most sought-after and respected players in jazz today. The Downbeat Critics Poll Rising Star Alto Saxophonist\, Jazz Journalists Association Up & Coming Artist of the Year\, and three-time Grammy nominee first attracted attention for her warm\, resonant tone and dynamic playing\, and she’s held it as a composer who uses traditional conceptions of jazz\, hip hop and soul as a jumping-off point for the formidable\, funk-inflected originals of her new album\, Phoenix. \nBenjamin honed her chops with Clark Terry and Terri Lyne Carrington\, and is a noted accompanist for vocalists like Gregory Porter and Theo Crocker. Along the way\, she’s worked with titans of contemporary jazz such as Robert Glasper\, Brandee Younger\, Jazzmeia Horn\, and Anita Baker\, and answered the bell for performances alongside Stevie Wonder\, Alicia Keys\, The Roots\, and many more.  \nHer three-time Grammy-nominated album\, Phoenix\, is a deeply personal outing for the charismatic composer. True to its name\, it’s a rebirth\, but it also keeps an important thread of intergenerational jazz legacy alive\, featuring guests that have inspired her musically and spiritually. Greats like Dianne Reeves\, Wayne Shorter\, Wallace Roney\, and Angela Davis lent their considerable talents to Lakecia’s recreation of herself from the ashes\, using her own melodic and assertive compositions as the vehicle.  \n“A crafty traditionalist who remains in step with the rhythms of the young generation” (The New Yorker)\, she’ll be joined by pianist Zaccai Curtis\, bassist Elias Bailey\, and drummer EJ Strickland. \nNo refunds.
