Guest artist bios:
The phenomenal multi-instrumentalist John Lee has made a name for himself as a pianist, bassist, drummer, guitarist, and jazz organist! Renowned as a band leader, collaborator, and educator; John Lee is a powerful force on the West Coast and international jazz scene.
Jazz organist, pianist, composer, and educator Dr. Tony Genge has been a mainstay of the Canadian jazz scene for over 40 years. Having taught at one of the country's most prestigious jazz university programs, Dr. Genge retired to the West Coast and has been an invaluable component of Tuesday night jazz at the church since its inception.
A renowned drummer, composer and educator, Kelby MacNayr has performed across Canada in the US with leading musicians like Ian McDougall and Louise Rose, from Terrell Stafford to George Colligan, John Clayton to Campbell Ryga.
A deep love and respect for the magic of the music has taken MacNayr to learn the art form from some of the greatest living masters including drummers Jeff Hamilton, Alan Jones and Joe La Barbara and vocalists Louise Rose, Marion Cowings and Barbara Blair.
