SUMMARY:Bruce Freedman's COLLAGE
DESCRIPTION:1601 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nTransposing his cut-up visual art practice over to music\, saxophonist Bruce Freedman’s COLLAGE disassembles and reassembles musical elements in ways that can surprise the musicians as much as the audience. With Josh Zubot violin\, Jared Burrows guitar\, Clyde Reed bass\, and Kenton Loewen drums\, Freedman’s controlled chaos cuts from intense energy to spacious reflection.

SUMMARY:William Chernoff Trio
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nBassist William Chernoff’s trio with guitarist Francis Henson and drummer Carson Tworow is unfussy\, “refreshingly accessible music” (All About Jazz). Although Will’s warmly melodic repertoire leans firmly straight-ahead\, the group can venture beyond swing into ECM-inspired sounds of the Steve Swallow and Bill Frisell variety.

SUMMARY:Joe Rainey & String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:1218 Cartwright St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R8 \n“You’ve never heard anything quite like Joe Rainey’s avant-garde Pow Wow music” – Pitchfork \nGrowing up as a Red Lake Ojibwe in the city of Minneapolis\, five hours south of the reserve\, Pow Wow singer and audio documenter Joe Rainey has always moved between cultures. With experimental electronic producer/multi-instrumentalist Andrew Broder (Bon Iver\, Fog) and a Vancouver-based string quartet\, Rainey makes the liminal sublime\, radically fusing “layers of powwow songs to industrial-strength drums and blizzards of static” (New York Times) to create an enveloping avant-garde Pow Wow music that defies comparison. \nPeggy Lee cello\, Jesse Zubot violin/viola\, Marina Hasselberg cello\, Parmela Attariwala violin.

SUMMARY:The Bad Plus
DESCRIPTION:The New Yorker was onto something when they called The Bad Plus “the Coen brothers of jazz: ironic and dead earnest\, technically brilliant\, beyond versatile…and pretty hard to pin down.” Now in their 21st year\, founding members Reid Anderson bass and Dave King drums continue to push boundaries\, embarking on a piano-less incarnation that features first-call creative heavyweights Ben Monder guitar and Chris Speed tenor sax. Their 15th album\, released in the Fall of 2022\, doubles as a self-titled debut for the sonically adventurous new dynamic. It’s the enduring\, cutting-edge chemistry of The Bad Plus\, supercharged with new-band excitement. As they say themselves\, “evolution is necessary for life and creativity. We’ve evolved\, but we’re still The Bad Plus.” \nFor Accessible Seating please contact Coastal Jazz Box Office at 604-872-5200 ext. 5 / boxoffice@coastaljazz.ca

SUMMARY:Arooj Aftab\, Vijay Iyer\, Shahzad Ismaily
DESCRIPTION:At their 2018 debut performance\, Arooj Aftab\, Vijay Iyer\, and Shahzad Ismaily’s immediate\, potent chemistry surprised even them. Since then\, in performance and on their 2023 debut album Love in Exile\, they’ve kept a focus on spontaneous co-creation and complete immersion in the present\, weaving bass\, piano\, and otherworldly vocals into a breathtakingly unified\, patiently unfurling sound. \nIndividually\, their accolades are substantial. Vocalist Arooj Aftab is the first Pakistani to win a GRAMMY Award\, MacArthur genius Vijay Iyer is one of today’s most influential pianists\, and multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily’s empathic playing has made him a legend among musicians like Marc Ribot\, Colin Stetson\, and Lou Reed. Yet the marvel here is how ego disappears completely in the presence of complete trust\, and how distinct backgrounds and vast personal histories of collaboration can be offered in service of timeless beauty and sudden surprise alike. \nFor Accessible Seating please contact Coastal Jazz Box Office at 604-872-5200 ext. 5 / boxoffice@coastaljazz.ca

SUMMARY:The Ostara Project
DESCRIPTION:Rhythm Changes presciently noted that “this supergroup should be a major player at Canadian jazz festivals this year”\, and indeed The Ostara Project—spearheaded by award-winning musicians Jodi Proznick bass and Amanda Tosoff piano—is gracing ten of the country’s finest Summer fests with their lyrical contemporary jazz. \nShowcasing the range and creativity of Canadian women in jazz\, the group’s membership is fluid\, calling on a Who’s-Who of top-tier musicians\, composers\, and bandleaders. What’s constant is the collective artistic heart that led to a 2023 Vocal Jazz Album of the Year JUNO nomination for their debut recording. In a genre and industry where women are severely underrepresented\, the Ostara Project is a beautiful example of perseverance\, community\, and a deep love for the music. Like the Germanic goddess of spring the group is named for\, Ostara is creativity rising out of darkness\, reaching for light\, propelled by hope. \nProznick and Tosoff are joined by Allison Au sax\, Rachel Therrien trumpet\, Valérie Lacombe drums\, Laila Biali piano and Shruti Ramani voice.

SUMMARY:Sun Ra Arkestra
DESCRIPTION:An enormous influence on generations of avant-jazz players—as well as artists ranging from Sonic Youth to Solange—the visionary Afrofuturism pioneer Sun Ra released over a hundred albums between the mid-1950s and his departure for Saturn in 1993. But the Sun Ra Arkestra continues to beam Ra’s cosmic messages around our humble planet\, sometimes collecting mementos like a 2022 GRAMMY nomination for their album Swirling\, which was called “challenging but intoxicating” by The Guardian\, and “a total joy” by The Wire. \nKnown for melding Ellingtonian big band swing\, transcendent free jazz\, dancing\, chanting\, and lavishly-outfitted Afro-pageantry\, the 13-piece Arkestra will touch down to make sure Ra’s “Afrofuturist ideas and concepts are still hurtling through space at light speed” (Rolling Stone). \n— \nThe Sun Ra Arkestra features Noel Scott alto and tenor saxes\, Vincent Chancey French horn\, Elson Nascimento percussion/surdo\, Tyler Mitchell bass\, Wayne Smith drums\, Cecil Brooks trumpet\, James Stewart tenor sax\, Tara Middleton vocals\, D. Hotep guitar\, Dave Davies trombone\, Farid Barron piano\, Beavin Lawrence baritone sax\, Kevin Batchelor trumpet.
