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: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: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: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:Julian Lage
DESCRIPTION:Speak To Me\, Julian Lage’s fourth album for Blue Note Records\, is full of virtuosic dispatches from an ongoing search for narrative beyond words. Intimate in tone and expansive in intention\, it roves a broad landscape of American music\, delighting in the deliberate crossing of wires between gospel\, rural blues\, California singer-songwriter sunshine\, and skronky jazz. “Possessed of an unflappable technical facility and seemingly boundless curiosity” (The New York Times)\, the always astonishing New York-based guitarist has collaborated with Gary Burton\, Nels Cline\, Béla Fleck\, John Zorn\, and scores of next-level creative players. His adventurous and deeply attuned trio features bassist Jorge Roeder and renowned Bad Plus drummer Dave King. \nThis show is sold out.

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

SUMMARY:Bruno Hubert Trio CD Release
DESCRIPTION:Bruno Hubert is one of Canada’s most lyrical and expressive Jazz pianists\, with a deep sense of swing\, lush harmonies\, and beguiling melodic lines. His conception\, while highly original and utterly genuine\, is evocative of\, at once\, Erroll Garner\, Keith Jarrett\, Herbie Hancock\, Bill Evans and other luminaries of jazz. While he is careful to stress that he is not a composer\, he nevertheless presents a cornucopia of medley-like arrangements of jazz standards\, soul\, rock and pop influenced pieces\, often in a lively night club environment. Hubert has been quietly underpinning the Vancouver jazz scene for over twenty years now and while he has a number of recordings under his own name\, he is also a key associate of other top jazz musicians such as Juno Award winner Brad Turner (trumpet)\, Juno nominated vocalists Jaclyn Guillou and Denzal Sinclaire\, Seamus Blake and others. Earlier in his career he collaborated with such musical luminaries as Gino Vannelli\, and Norah Jones. Bruno will be celebrating the release of his newly recorded album\, his 3rd for Cellar Music and his first since 2008. \nWith André Lachance bass and Joe Poole drums.

SUMMARY:Tom Lee Workshops 2024
DESCRIPTION:728 Granville St\, Vancouver\, BC V6Z 1E4 \nThe Vancouver International Jazz Festival offers free workshops and lectures for jazz fans and musicians to learn firsthand from some of our local and international performers. \nDavid Stackenäs – June 24\, 1PM \nCalled “cunningly enigmatic” by Jazz Weekly\, Swedish guitarist David Stackenäs brings an artfully disruptive spirit to solo work and collaborations with avant-garde heavyweights like Thurston Moore and Ken Vandermark. \nHis idiosyncratic approach to contemporary jazz and free improvisation includes prepared guitar\, conventional techniques\, and the electronic possibilities of a growing armada of pedals. As a soloist\, he often focuses on the organic sound-possibilities and timbres inherent in acoustic guitars. Orkesterjournalen called his solo album\, Bricks (Clean Feed) “one of the most brilliant albums I’ve heard in a long time\, so personal that it’s hard to describe.” \nStackenäs has played on over 70 recordings and toured Europe\, the US\, Japan\, and the Middle East as a soloist and with various groups. His collaborations are many\, among them Evan Parker\, Barry Guy\, Lina Nyberg\, Sofia Jernberg\, Rhodri Davies\, Fredrik Ljungkvist\, Paul Lovens\, Axel Dörner\, Paal Nilssen-Love\, Jim O’Rourke\, and Tatsuya Nakatani. \nMary Ancheta – June 25\, 1PM \nKnown for killing it alongside the likes of Khari Wendell McClelland\, Kimmortal\, and Amanda Sum\, keyboardist Mary Ancheta has made a big jump into the spotlight over the past couple of years\, channeling her organic\, modern take on jazz and electro-funk through her ascendant Quartet. 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. \nAncheta is a Canadian Filipina born in Hamilton. While teaching at the Ontario Conservatory of Music\, she received her B.A. of Music from McMaster University. Now a Vancouver-based composer\, you can hear her work on Showtime\, Netflix\, HBO\, National Geographic\, Bravo\, Hallmark\, CTV\, Fox\, Crave\, TNT\, and more. Mary is a passionate collaborator whose fundamental aim is to help tell diverse\, honest stories about the human condition through music. She’s worked with iskwē\, Buckman Coe\, Ashleigh Ball\, Dutch Robinson\, Francis Arevalo\, Jill Barber\, Tonye\, Marlie Collins\, Missy D\, Cookie Cartel\, and many other tuned-in creators. \nTyson Naylor – June 26\, 1PM \nVancouver-born\, Berlin-based keyboardist Tyson Naylor has performed internationally in very diverse musical settings\, and he’s equally at home in free jazz\, soul\, indie rock\, and chamber ensembles. He’s played with Destroyer\, Frazey Ford\, and Dan Mangan\, avant-improvisers like Tristan Honsinger\, Tobias Delius\, Axel Dörner\, Mats Äleklint and Lina Allemano\, large ensembles like Warsaw Improvisers Orchestra\, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra\, and Turning Point Ensemble\, and groups best filed under “other”\, like Dálava\, Ron Samworth’s Dogs Do Dream\, Tiny Pyramids\, Sun Ra’s Star System\, SICK BOSS\, and Limbs of the Stars. \nSignal to Noise praised his Trio’s debut album\, Kosmonauten (Songlines)\, noting that 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.” \nDJ O Show – June 27\, 1PM \nCoastal Jazz Artist in Residence Orene Askew\, aka DJ O Show\, brings energy and passion to everything she does. Winner of the 2022 International Indigenous Hip Hop Award for DJ of the Year\, she’s a proudly Afro-Indigenous member of the Squamish Nation who embraces and embodies teachings from both of her cultural backgrounds.\nWith an outgoing personality and loads of charisma\, O Show is not only one of the most positivity-emanating DJs around\, she’s also a speaker and teacher who has traveled across the country to spark inspiration in folks of all generations; hosted/MC’d/DJ’d for the Canucks\, Whitecaps\, and Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week; and opened for Kevin Hart and Russell Peters. A former member of Squamish Nation Council\, DJ O Show is the recipient of a 2015 BC Indigenous Business Award\, the 2018 Stand Out Award from the Vancouver Pride Society\, and the 2021 Alumni of Excellence Award from Capilano University. \nDJ O Show remains true to her love of hip hop and R&B\, laying down beats that pack dance floors from Vancouver to Toronto\, Las Vegas to Texas\, and anywhere else in need of some soulful shaking\, while spreading the positive message that diversity makes beautiful music! \nPresented in association with Talking Stick Festival.  \nSam Wilson – June 28\, 1PM \nCanadian guitarist/composer Sam Wilson blends an early love of finger-style guitar with her love of jazz improvisation. Her practice as a performer-composer focuses on creating instrumental music for improvisers\, and 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)\, it was written during the winter of 2022 on the East Coast (in Scotsburn\, NS) and the West Coast (at Lena Residency\, Galiano Island BC)\, inspired by contrasting landscapes and the collaboration of bi-coastal communities. Her albums Into a Heart Pt. II and New Doors (Jackson/Wilson Duo) both won Music Nova Scotia’s “Jazz Recording of the Year” in 2022 and 2023\, respectively. In 2021 Sam won the Paul Cram Creation Award and composed “Recover-we”\, her first piece for orchestra which was performed by Symphony Nova Scotia at the 2023 Open Waters Festival. “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 \nAll events are free and open to all. \nPresented by:
