SUMMARY:Matthew Ariaratnam & Adrian Avendaño + Giorgio Magnanensi & Andromeda Monk
DESCRIPTION:1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nMatthew Ariaratnam & Adrian Avendaño \nGuitarist Matthew Ariaratnam and drummer Adrian Avendaño’s sound is inspired by an eclectic array of music across time\, space\, and geographies. Two of the city’s most intriguing emerging artists\, they meld elements of post-rock\, Tuareg rock\, Indian ragas\, noise\, experimental electronic music\, free jazz\, and soundscape composition with concepts of deep listening. \nGiorgio Magnanensi & Andromeda Monk \n“One of the most outgoing\, provocative\, and multifaceted musicians on the local scene” (Georgia Straight)\, Giorgio Magnanensi’s deeply present work bends minds and circuits in co-discovery of speechless\, essential connection. Andromeda Monk’s improvisation approach is very much about holding space—for other musicians as well as herself. The flexibility of the synth allows Monk to chameleon between lead\, support\, and being the critical glue in the middle. \n

SUMMARY:Viviane Houle's Unsung Songs
DESCRIPTION:1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nViviane Houle is one of Canada’s most dynamic and fearless vocal improvisers. With Unsung Songs\, Houle releases a new album alongside a stunning book of graphic scores she created to elicit sonically-searching duos with fellow interpreters like Lina Allemano\, Sylvain Darrifourcq\, and Didier Petit. Houle’s evocative black and white abstractions are “deeply lyrical\, generous\, entangled\, energetic and sparse\, offering their chaotic wilderness to an audience whose understanding of image and sound might just be cracked open and changed forever” (Avni Vyas). For this unrepeatable performance\, Houle debuts an ensemble featuring Jessica Ackerley guitar\, Konrad Agnas drums\, Clyde Reed bass\, Joshua Zubot violin\, Chris Gestrin piano\, and Hadis Fard’s projected\, real-time manipulations of Viviane’s graphics. \nThis show is part of our Granville Island Jazz series

SUMMARY:Duda / Carter / Wójciński / van der Schyff
DESCRIPTION:1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nPolish pianist Joanna Duda’s singular sound is a consistently surprising and joyful synthesis of forward-thinking modern jazz\, contemporary classical\, and electronica-augmented pulsing grooves.

SUMMARY:Jonny Tobin
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nVibrating somewhere between a 60s Blue Note record and a video game from the 90s\, Jonny Tobin’s fat synth-funk playfully collides with abstract jazz undertones to create introspective\, dance-heavy West Coast lowrider grooves. The Vancouver-based GRAMMY and JUNO-nominated keyboardist/producer has graced hundreds of tracks from artists like NYC-based Sarah Kang and breakout socially-conscious California rapper D. Smoke\, scored placements for Vogue and the Utah Jazz\, and been a long-time fixture of the funkiest parts of the Vancouver scene. With Tristan Paxton guitar\, Max Zipursky keyboards\, Nate Drobner bass\, Shaquille Headley drums and electronics. \nOcean Art Works is sponsored in part by CMHC Granville Island and is part of the Granville Island Jazz series.

SUMMARY:Pura Fé & Jesse Zubot: Chamber of Bones
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \nIn 2022\, Jesse Zubot and co-composer Wayne Lavallee invited the acclaimed singer-songwriter Pura Fé to contribute vocals to their score for Bones of Crows\, directed by Marie Clements. Interacting with the chamber ensemble that Zubot conducted in real time\, Fé completely inhabited the music’s tense atmospherics and sweeping emotional range; most of her improvisations were one-take magic. Zubot and Fé return to this sonic landscape for the challenging\, spirit-animating collaboration Chamber of Bones. \nPura Fé is an artist\, activist\, and storyteller of Tuscarora and Taino heritage\, known for her impassioned vocals\, slide guitar fireworks\, and powerful songs that touch on folk\, gospel\, and blues traditions. In 1987\, she co-founded the renowned Indigenous women’s a cappella group Ulali\, and since 1995 she’s been releasing solo albums and collaborating with the likes of Indigo Girls and Robbie Robertson. \nWith multiple JUNOs\, WCMAs\, and National Jazz Awards on the mantle\, Jesse Zubot is known for virtuosic violin playing\, cutting edge production style\, and collaborations with avant-innovators like Evan Parker and Joe Fonda\, indie artists Dan Mangan and Stars\, and the incomparable Tanya Tagaq. In recent years\, he’s created enveloping scores for films like Indian Horse and Monkey Beach. \nPura Fé will play solo\, followed by this exceptional musical connection with conductor/performer Jesse and an ensemble featuring Josh Zubot violin/viola\, Trent Freeman violin\, Wesley Hardisty five-string violin\, Meredith Bates violin/viola\, Marina Hasselberg cello\, and Peggy Lee cello. \nPresented in association with Talking Stick Festival

SUMMARY:Katie Tupper
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nBeneath the infinite skies of Saskatoon lies a deep\, creative spirit that proves there’s much more to the prairies than grassland and grain silos. 24-year-old neo-soul vocalist Katie Tupper embodies that spirit\, and she’s determined to show there’s an entire world of boundary-pushing\, genre-defying artists at work within the often-overlooked region. \nOn Towards The End\, her debut EP on Arts & Crafts\, Tupper’s warm\, almost husky voice soars over a mixture of subtle soul and exquisite indie-folk with Benjamin Millman keys and Alvin Agatep guitar. \nOcean Art Works is sponsored in part by CMHC Granville Island and is part of the Granville Island Jazz series.

SUMMARY:BADBADNOTGOOD with special guests Mary Ancheta Quartet
DESCRIPTION:BADBADNOTGOOD \nBADBADNOTGOOD’s expansive music straddles the line between ’70s soul-jazz\, alternative hip-hop\, and experimental electronica. The Toronto group first gained attention in the early 2010s\, playing jazzed-out covers of tracks by the likes of Odd Future\, MF Doom and A Tribe Called Quest. Since then\, they’ve built a catalogue of vivid\, hooky originals and collaborated with hip-hop\, dance\, and neo-soul artists like Ghostface Killah\, Kaytranada\, and Kendrick Lamar. On their latest album\, 2021’s compositionally complex and melodically adventurous Talk Memory\, the group explores fusion\, new age\, and orchestral influences. With interests\, obsessions\, and talent this far-ranging\, the only place BBNG are content to sit is right in the pocket. \n\nMary Ancheta Quartet \nKnown for killing it alongside Khari Wendell McClelland\, Kimmortal\, Amanda Sum\, and scores of other great artists\, Vancouver-based keyboardist Mary Ancheta steps into the spotlight with her organic\, modern take on jazz and electro-funk. Inspired by the likes of Squarepusher\, The Meters\, John Schofield\, and Prince\, Ancheta knows what’s up when it comes to arresting melodies and gritty\, irresistible grooves. With Dominic Conway sax\, Matt Reid bass\, and Joel Fountain drums.

SUMMARY:Brandee Younger Trio
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \n“Younger’s playing\, virtuosic but with a sparkling lightness\, invites you to set aside questions of classification\, and just savour the sonic finery” — Rolling Stone \nThe classically trained\, genre-unconstrained harpist Brandee Younger recently made history at the 2022 GRAMMY Awards as the first Black female solo artist nominated for Best Instrumental Composition for the mesmerizing Beautiful Is Black. Over her far-ranging career\, Younger has performed and recorded across with artists like John Legend\, The Roots\, Lauryn Hill\, Pharoah Sanders\, Ravi Coltrane\, Ron Carter\, and Charlie Haden. A leading light in modern jazz\, The New York Times raves that “no harpist has been more capable of combining all of the modern harp traditions—from Salzedo\, through Dorothy Ashby\, through Alice Coltrane—with such strength\, grace and commitment.” \nHer trio features Rashaan Carter (Wallace Roney\, Cindy Blackman) bass and Allan Mednard (Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Jeremy Pelt) drums.

SUMMARY:Jessica Ackerley + KneeJerk
DESCRIPTION:1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nJessica Ackerley \nAt home in modern jazz\, free jazz\, noise and DIY rock settings\, ex-NYC\, now Honolulu-based guitarist Jessica Ackerley “weaves a distinctive path between atonality and tonality\, noise and notes\, while bringing heart to a style that can often reside in the head (Guitar Moderne). Ackerley performs in groups like SSWAN\, MAW\, and their own trio\, and regularly collaborates with Patrick Shiroishi\, Daniel Carter\, and many others. \nKneeJerk \nFeaturing Brian Horswill piano\, Karlis Silins bass and Kenton Loewen drums\, KneeJerk’s free jazz plays with minimalism and evokes chaos. Between the nearly-tangible and a wild\, almost playful din\, the trio obscures form to create a strange and beautiful jangle. Watch for their debut record\, coming soon on local creative jazz label The Infidels.

SUMMARY:Zoh Amba & Chris Corsano with Lisa Cay Miller
DESCRIPTION:Due to bad weather and airline cancellations\, Zoh Amba and Chris Corsano’s 9:00PM appearance with Lisa Cay Miller at Revue Stage tonight has been replaced with Joe Rainey. \n1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nOne of the brightest new stars in avant-jazz\, NYC-based composer/saxophonist/flutist Zoh Amba’s music is “a chaotic spiritual exploration\, a path to enlightenment strewn with skronking wails” (Stereogum). Though conservatory-trained\, she developed her sound in the forest near her Tennessee home\, giving folk melodies free run alongside influences from uncompromising players like Albert Ayler and David S. Ware. John Zorn produced her 2022 debut\, and she’s collaborated with Immanuel Wilkins\, Jim White (Dirty Three)\, William Parker\, and more. Amba’s joined by drummer and regular collaborator Chris Corsano—who’s brought “impressive chops and vivid imagination” (JazzTimes) to his work with fellow iconoclasts Björk\, Thurston Moore\, Jim O’Rourke\, and Nels Cline—and the striking and investigative Vancouver pianist Lisa Cay Miller. \nThis show is part of our Granville Island Jazz series

SUMMARY:Chris Botti with special guest Michael Kaeshammer
DESCRIPTION:Chris Botti \nMultiple Billboard jazz chart #1s\, RIAA-certified Gold and Platinum records\, numerous nominations and a GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Instrumental—how could Chris Botti possibly top all of that? Well\, with “a trumpet sound that suggests the softer side of luminosity\, the realm of sunsets and half-moons and low-wattage incandescence”\, the largest-selling American instrumental artist’s “studio output is to his live show what a votive candle is to a fireworks display” (New York Times). \nThrough a string of stellar albums as a leader\, plus work with an encyclopedia of pop and jazz A-listers—including Sting\, Barbra Streisand\, Tony Bennett\, Lady Gaga\, Yo-Yo Ma\, Michael Bublé\, Paul Simon\, Joni Mitchell\, Herbie Hancock\, Andrea Bocelli\, and even Frank Sinatra—Botti has thoroughly established himself as a clarion voice in contemporary music. Whether he’s calling upon firepower or finesse\, Chris Botti is a showman\, artist\, and bandleader extraordinaire. \n\nMichael Kaeshammer \nMichael Kaeshammer isn’t so much a piano player as a piano whisperer\, able to coax dazzling\, kaleidoscopic sounds from the instrument in a way few can rival. The German-born\, BC-based Kaeshammer released his debut album Blue Keys back in 1996\, at the tender age of twenty-one. Countless collaborations\, solo records\, JUNO nominations and Western Canadian Music Awards later\, he unveils the eclectic and energetic Turn It Up. It’s very much a post-lockdown record\, with Kaeshammer’s uplifting storytelling and pop-driven crossover of classical\, jazz\, blues and boogie-woogie beckoning us out of isolation and into shared joy. \nMichael’s performance is presented with additional support from WAVE 98.3. \n

SUMMARY:Sona Jobarteh
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \nWith her shimmering 21-string Kora melodies and heart-swelling vocals\, Sona Jobarteh is “a griot for a new generation of West Africans” (BBC). \nBreaking from a seven-century-old tradition that reserved the instrument for males of a hereditary musical family\, Jobarteh is not only the very first female Kora virtuoso\, but also a deft innovator who “blends traditional music\, blues\, and Afropop to impressive effect” (The Guardian). Jobarteh has some eclectic credits of late\, from scoring the Idris Elba thriller Beast and co-writing a track on LL Cool J’s new Q Tip-produced album\, to selling out venues like the Barbican in London and the Seine Musicale in Paris. Sona’s humanitarian messages aren’t confined to music—she’s also a leading activist for social change and education reform in Africa\, delivering potent speeches to the UN\, the WTO\, and UNICEF and founding The Gambia Academy. \nWith one ear on the family’s historic reputation\, one on the all-important future\, and her heart in both\, she’s helping build a more equitable\, musically rich world for the next generation.
