SUMMARY:Bouncin' With Bud: Helen Sung\,  Steve Smith\, Lonnie Plaxico
DESCRIPTION:A defining figure of 20th century jazz\, Bud Powell’s inimitable piano playing was “the DNA of bebop” (NPR). Bill Evans called Powell his greatest influence\, Miles called him the best\, and everybody called him a genius. In Bouncin’ With Bud\, three of today’s finest players celebrate his legacy through deep-in-the-pocket pulses and swinging virtuosic sojourns. \nHouston-based pianist Helen Sung has worked with luminaries like Clark Terry\, Wayne Shorter\, Ron Carter\, and Wynton Marsalis\, who named her one of his Who’s Got Next: Jazz Musicians to Watch! One of Modern Drummer Magazine’s Top 25 Drummers of All Time\, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steve Smith is best known as a member of Journey\, and the engine of jazz groups Vital Information\, Steps Ahead\, and Groove: Blue Organ Trio. \nThe tremendous bassist Lonnie Plaxico has worked with a who’s who of jazz legends\, from Dizzy Gillespie\, Chet Baker\, and Dexter Gordon\, to Wynton Marsalis and Cassandra Wilson. \nSpecial thanks to Radio Free Birdland \nWant more bang for your buck?

SUMMARY:Grdina-Houle-Loewen
DESCRIPTION:“The threesome navigated a wide landscape of meandering lyrical passages\, eerie plateaus\, and sudden about-turns into wild abysses.” – All About Jazz \nGuitarist Gordon Grdina\, clarinetist François Houle\, and drummer Kenton Loewen’s wildfire chemistry has burned brightly over the years\, whether in the 10-piece avant-Arabic ensemble Haram\, their quartet with French pianist Benoît Delbecq\, or in ever-shifting improv settings and inspired ad hoc ensembles. Since 2014\, they’ve performed throughout Europe and North America\, honing a distinctive trio identity wherein dense\, complex compositions can give way to ferocious and virtuosic improvisation without warning. \nWant more bang for your buck?

SUMMARY:Dálava
DESCRIPTION:Led by vocalist Julia Úlehla and guitarist Aram Bajakian (Lou Reed\, John Zorn)\, the “utterly captivating” (Vancouver Sun) Dálava takes Czech folk melodies transcribed over 100 years ago by Úlehla’s great-grandfather and places them in a compelling contemporary context. Cinematic and wide-ranging\, the music of Dálava is beautifully rendered and hauntingly expressive. With Peggy Lee cello\, and Josh Zubot violin\, the groundbreaking Dálava offers a “stunning fusion of Middle European melody\, rock energy\, and scratchy avant-jazz textures” (Georgia Straight). \nWant more bang for your buck?

SUMMARY:Suzie Ungerleider
DESCRIPTION:The Vancouver-based singer-songwriter (formerly known as Oh Susanna) creates songs with Dylanesque narratives set to deeply rewarding melodies. Whether belting out a high-lonesome chorus or sweetly lilting along\, there’s a stark honesty in Ungerleider’s tales of heartache and rebels and beauty on the fringes.

SUMMARY:Jerry Cook Quartet
DESCRIPTION:“While some young lions can hardly wait to enter a recording studio and show the world what they have\, a few older cats prefer to wait a while to make sure they get it right the first time. Veteran saxophonist Jerry Cook is one of those cats.” – All About Jazz\nAfter working as a sideman for three decades\, Jerry Cook’s debut album Walk in the Park is an amiable revelation. Warm tones and a relaxed sense of swing infuse his fresh arrangements of “Summertime”\, “Georgia On My Mind” and other classics. Cook’s fine Quartet features Chris Gestrin piano\, John Lee bass\, and Jesse Cahill drums. \nThis show is fully booked. If you’d like to be added to a waitlist in case of cancellations\, please call Frankie’s Jazz Club at (604) 688-6368.

SUMMARY:Live from Amsterdam
DESCRIPTION:TRIO STADHOUDERS VATCHER PETRUCCELLI\nBursting forth from Amsterdam’s vibrant improvised music scene in 2019\, the classic “power trio” instrumentation is put to full use by guitarist Jasper Stadhouders\, bassist Miguel Petruccelli\, and drummer Michael Vatcher. Never shying away from pummeling grooves\, noisy outbursts\, sudden silences\, abstract reflections\, and unexpected shifts\, this non-hierarchal trio is always in fiery forward motion. \n\nMICHAEL MOORE’S DICE CUP TRIO\nA new project from veteran Amsterdam-based reeds player Michael Moore\, Dice Cup Trio takes Max Jacob’s 1923 collection of tightly constructed\, absurdly humorous prose poems Le Cornet a Dés as its jumping-off point. Combining rigor with a streak of mischief is not a new lark for Moore\, though. Since relocating from California in 1982\, the Boy Edgar Award-winner has been a lynchpin of the Dutch scene\, and a member of the iconic and iconoclastic Instant Composers Pool Orchestra alongside collaborators like Han Bennink and Misha Mengelberg. \nMoore is joined by bassist Omer Govreen (Billy Cobham\, Anat Fort) and Nino Baleyte\, a dynamic French drummer who also plays in Govreen’s trio Garden Crack. \n\nOMAWI\nFrom Amsterdam’s flourishing improvised music circuit\, OMAWI unites rising stars Onno Govaert (Cactus Truck) drums and Marta Warelis (Michael Moore\, Ab Baars) piano with ‘old dog’ bassist Wilbert de Joode\, one of European improv’s most recognized and active players and the 2016 winner of the Netherlands’ most prestigious jazz award\, the Boy Edgar. Together\, they create music that is urgent\, elastic\, and “free of all the clichés of the modern jazz piano trio” (Salt Peanuts). \n(Omawi is pictured) \nThis project is supported by Dutch Performing Arts\, a programme of the Performing Arts Fund NL.\nAdditional thanks to the BIMHUIS for their partnership and collaboration.

SUMMARY:Turner/Ryga Quintet - Tribute to Charlie Parker
DESCRIPTION:To mark the 100th anniversary of the great Charlie Parker’s birth\, five of Canada’s finest jazz players come together for intrepid interpretations of the saxophone maestro’s music. \nIn his short life\, Bird revolutionized jazz\, setting a high bar for harmonic and rhythmic complexity\, rich textures\, and dizzying virtuosity. As Miles Davis said\, “you can tell the history of jazz in four words: Louis Armstrong. Charlie Parker.” Campbell Ryga saxophone\, Brad Turner trumpet\, Sharon Minemoto piano\, André Lachance bass\, and John Lee drums do their part to celebrate that rich history.

SUMMARY:Malleus Trio
DESCRIPTION:Malleus Trio fuses original compositions with an improvisational language built up over more than a decade. Tricky rhythms\, extended techniques\, and dramatic dynamic shifts tell inviting\, unpredictable stories. What if Sonny Rollins had the night off and called up Tom Waits to hit a Kendrick Lamar concert? Astor Piazzolla bumps into Albert Ayler at the after-hours joint and Al Green’s on the jukebox. Through it all\, a love of groove and melody\, an egalitarian compositional philosophy\, and an appetite for risk catalyze in a blend of dissonance and danceability\, sentimentality\, and thrill-seeking.

SUMMARY:Hamid Drake & Michael Zerang (Chicago)
DESCRIPTION:Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang have been performing together for over 30 years. Called “an anchor\, a beacon\, and a seasonal tradition in its own right” by The Chicago Reader\, their longstanding solstice concerts have built a rapport between the master percussionists that’s meditative\, ever-renewing\, and always on point\, any day of the year. The endlessly impactful Chicago drummer/percussionist Hamid Drake is one of creative music’s most in-demand virtuosos. His deep\, expansive style harmonizes techniques and influences from Afro-Caribbean rhythms\, Indian classical music\, and the rich lineage of jazz. His longtime collaborators have included Don Cherry\, Marilyn Crispell\, Herbie Hancock\, and William Parker. \nFellow Chicagoan Michael Zerang is a multidisciplinary percussionist/composer. Since 1976\, he’s explored textural free improv\, contemporary composition\, and experimental theatre\, using vibrating drumhead surfaces\, multi-timbral experimentations\, and a host of other non-traditional approaches. A long-standing collaborator of Peter Brötzmann\, Joe McPhee\, and Fred Lonberg-Holm\, he also performs with the experimental Middle-Eastern super-group Karkhana.\nSpecial Thanks to Constellation-Chicago \nWant more bang for your buck?

SUMMARY:Snotty Nose Rez Kids
DESCRIPTION:The duo of Yung Trybez and Young D\, from the Haisla Nation\, Kitamaat Village BC burst onto the Canadian hip-hop scene in 2017 and have shown no signs of stopping since.

SUMMARY:Pivoting to Digital
DESCRIPTION:Many months ago we were all enjoying concerts\, crowded shoulder to shoulder\, basking in our favourite songs being sung live. But suddenly\, a mandatory pivot to digital was expected of musicians everywhere.  What happens when a musician is put on the spot\, expected to share a pre-recorded performance as part of an interview\, or festival after the fact?  As art has carried us through the pandemic\, the presenter’s and public’s relationship with performances has considerably changed due to going virtual\, but your rights haven’t. In this panel discussion co-presented by the Vancouver International Jazz Festival\, we’ll be joined by two time JUNO-nominated bassist\, composer\, and educator Jodi Proznick alongside Tim Reinert\, Vancouver-based writer and broadcaster\, and Matthew Lien\, songwriter\, composer\, producer\, and performer to discuss the musician’s pivot to digital. \nMeet the panelists: \nJodi Proznick \nTwo time Juno-nominated bassist\, composer\, bandleader\, and educator Jodi Proznick has earned a reputation as one of Canada’s finest jazz artists.

The first release is It Becomes Us by Kenton Loewen and JP Carter. It was produced by Tim\, and is scheduled for release on June 18\, 2021.Tim has also been emceeing jazz concerts all over Vancouver for different organizations for over 25 years.

SUMMARY:Les Angles Mortes & Amahl Arulanandam
DESCRIPTION:The African diaspora’s contribution to European art music has been substantial but a history of white supremacy and racial oppression has largely erased their contributions.  With this concert\, Music Gallery\, Innovations en concert\, Western Front\, Music on Main\, NOW Society\, Coastal Jazz and Blues and Suoni Per Il Popolo collaborate to bring an online performance of two major works by African-American composers\, performed by Canadian artists\, to audiences world-wide: Julia Perry’s Stabat Mater and Julius Eastman’s The Holy Presence of Joan D’Arc. \n\nLes Angles Mortes is a Montreal based ensemble directed by Julie Richard that revives marginalized classical works composed by African-American women. The ensemble rediscovers\, re-contextualizes and sometimes reimagines these works so that they will not be forgotten and so that they can take their place in the history of contemporary music. \nThey will present a version of Julia Perry’s Stabat Mater. \n\nToronto-based cellist Amahl Arulanandam is known for his musical versatility and ability to adapt to many different genres. From baroque music to heavy metal\, in studios\, small clubs and large concert-halls\, Amahl hopes to convey that musical expression is beyond genres and labels. \nIn this pre-recorded performance\, he plays all ten cello parts of The Holy Presence of Joan D’Arc\, written by Julius Eastman. \n\nThese two performances will be streamed for free by Suoni TV at suoniperilpopolo.org at 5:00PM PST/8:00 PM EST on April 1\, 2021\, and will be available afterward on the Coastal Jazz YouTube page. Trading Places is a co presentation of Suoni per il Popolo\, Music on Main\, NOW Society\, Western Front\, and Coastal Jazz.
