SUMMARY:Kenton Loewen with Jesse Zubot
DESCRIPTION:Centred by his warm and emotional baritone\, Kenton Loewen’s alt/psych/folk debut album is “an explosive listen” (Vancouver Sun). \nOne of Canada’s premier drummers in creative improv (Gord Grdina\, Ken Vandermark\, Mats Gustafsson) and rock (with Dan Mangan + Blacksmith and in the original lineup of Mother Mother)\, the JUNO Award-winner is also a captivating singer-songwriter. His deeply personal songs about obsession\, depression\, and old-school heartbreak take on almost hallucinogenic qualities in collaboration with producer Jesse Zubot. A violinist and sonic shaper unlike any other\, Zubot is known for his longtime collaboration with Tanya Tagaq and film scores like Bones of Crows and Indian Horse. \nPlease note\, Caley Watts was scheduled to be on this bill but her performance has been cancelled for this evening. We hope to present her again at a later date.

SUMMARY:Thanya Iyer + Elisa Thorn
DESCRIPTION:Thanya Iyer \nMontréal’s Thanya Iyer is an enigmatic songwriter whose sparkling experimental pop music embraces mindfulness\, aesthetic beauty\, and the interconnectedness of all things. Iyer’s 2025 release\, TIDE/TIED\, expands on the future-folk of their 2020 Polaris Prize long-listed album KIND. With washes of jazz-inflected pop and ensemble ambience courtesy of Daniel Gélinas’ meditative drumming\, Pompey’s adventurous multi-instrumentalism\, and the celestial harp of Emilie Kahn\, Thanya Iyer builds a layered musical world that Pitchfork described as “a lucid daydream that’s constantly melting at its edges.” \nThanya Iyer Workshop • June 24 • Tom Lee Music Hall\nThanks to the Canada Council for the Arts. \nElisa Thorn \nKnown for her charming off-the-cuff humour and distinctly contemporary use of the instrument\, harpist/vocalist Elisa Thorn draws from indie\, jazz\, chamber pop\, and post-rock to create a meditative\, psychedelic\, and energizing sound that’s all her own. Thorn’s an insatiable collaborator in projects that include Gentle Party\, HUE\, and The Giving Shapes\, but she’s currently focusing on her solo work\, including the 2025 release of her debut album\, xiik. \nCalled “experimental folk for the bathtub\,” Elisa’s intriguing sounds have been found to be equally impactful on sinks\, basins\, and people.

SUMMARY:Pasquale Grasso Trio feat. André Lachance and Andrew Millar
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nPat Metheny called Pasquale Grasso “the best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life.” It was the kind of endorsement most rising guitarists can only dream of\, but what’s more impressive is that this exceptional player doesn’t sound like Metheny in the slightest. Nor does he follow in the paths of Scofield or Frisell. Born in Italy and now based in New York City\, Grasso’s astounding pianistic technique is informed not by modern jazz guitarists\, but by bebop pioneers like Bud Powell\, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. \nHe’s brought his sparkling\, immaculately balanced tone\, tasteful tinges of stride and boogie-woogie\, deft chordal harmony and stunning single-note runs to interplay with Samara Joy\, Sheila Jordan\, Ray Drummond\, Steve Grossman\, Grant Stewart\, and—for this special performance—a trio featuring André Lachance and Andrew Millar. Lachance is one of the finest and busiest bassists in Vancouver\, known for work with Peggy Lee Band\, Brad Turner\, Chris Gestrin\, and Hard Rubber Orchestra\, while Andrew Millar has established himself as one of the NYC scene’s first-call swing\, trad\, and straight-ahead jazz drummers since relocating from BC to Brooklyn back in 2015.

SUMMARY:John Gross/Campbell Ryga Quintet
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nA master of saxophone multiphonics\, Vancouver-based American tenorist John Gross has worked with Billy Mintz\, Tony Malaby\, and Lionel Hampton. Saxophone Journal called him “a phenomenon of knowledge and experience” and “one of the most meaningful players on the scene.” Nevermind theory and technique\, which he commands in spades\, John Gross “plays his life on the horn.” JUNO Award-winning alto and soprano saxophonist Campbell Ryga was a founding member of the late\, great Hugh Fraser’s Quintet. He’s appeared on more than 90 recordings\, including a sublime release with New York pianist Renee Rosnes and work with PJ Perry\, Ross Taggart\, and Michael Bublé (on the GRAMMY-winning Crazy Love). \nPlaying timeless soul jazz and swinging standards from the 50s and 60s by the likes of Horace Silver\, Wayne Shorter\, Benny Golson\, Jimmy Rowles\, Tad Dameron\, and other luminaries\, the Gross/Ryga Quintet features guitarist Tom Wherrett (ElkHorn)\, Chris Gestrin on Hammond B3\, and drummer Joe Poole.

SUMMARY:Chris Gestrin celebrates Shirley Scott
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nKnown as the Queen of the Organ\, pianist and Hammond B-3 master Shirley Scott helped define the sound of small-group soul-jazz\, and created a lasting template for the organ and sax trio sound. Mixing swinging bebop with gospel and blues traditions\, she came to prominence in the ’50s on seminal albums for Prestige alongside saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis\, including the 1958 hit In the Kitchen. The trio of Hammond organist Chris Gestrin\, tenor saxophonist Steve Kaldestad and drummer Todd Stewart formed in 2023 to celebrate the release of Queen Talk\, a live archival recording of Shirley Scott on the Reel to Real label. For this performance they’ll perform material from that release as well as pieces from Scott’s classic\, cooking repertoire.

SUMMARY:Janette King
DESCRIPTION:1531 Johnston St\, Vancouver\, BC V6H 3R9 \nThrough the prism of alternative R&B\, house\, and pop\, Caribbean-Canadian vocalist/producer/multi-instrumentalist Janette King’s What We Lost unpacks the complexities of grief with a wisdom you wouldn’t wish on someone so young. It’s a statement that—like contemporaries Victoria Monét and Snoh Aalegra—fuses deeply personal assessments of life with glass-half-full soundscapes that “ought to place her right near the top of the list of this country’s up-and-coming R&B artists” (Exclaim!). In 2023\, Janette wrote and performed on two tracks off Gayance’s Polaris Prize-shortlisted album Mascarade\, and released the dance EP How Sad in to celebrate Pride Month. Ahead of a much-anticipated sophomore album to be released this October\, she’s joined by Alex Dobson bass\, Jonny Tobin keys\, and Ian Cardona drums.

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: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.”
