Sunday Jazz Matinee at James Bay United Church presents Brad Shigeta Plays and Sings!
Vancouver-based trombonist Brad Shigeta pays a very special visit to the Sunday Jazz Matinee.
Originally from Winnipeg, Brad Shigeta moved to New York City at the invitation of internationally acclaimed bassist Dave Holland. For the next 20 years, Brad worked with the legacy orchestras of the legendary Count Basie and Duke Ellington, as well as the Lionel Hampton Big Band, the Dave Holland Big Band, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, and countless others.
Returning to Canada, Brad eventually relocated to Vancouver, British Columbia, and split his time between the Seattle and Vancouver jazz communities. He can be heard performing with many of the West Coast’s finest groups.
For this special concert, Brad brings Vancouver bassist Noah Hocker and Victoria drummer Matt Pease together to celebrate the release of his recent trio recording, Brad Shigeta Plays and Sings.
Join us for a swinging afternoon of musical mayhem!
