Featuring not one but two trombone players, this week's lineup brings together legendary performers with a deep respect for each other's playing and a shared love of swing music.

Trombonist Brad Shigeta is a Canadian jazz legend, having moved to New York City to start what became a storied career performing with the likes of Dave Holland, Wynton Marsalis, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, and the legacy big bands of the Count Basie Orchestra and the Duke Ellington Orchestra, among many others!

Special guest trombonist Bryce Gilhome is among the most respected trombonists around, having earned a reputation as a beautiful and lyrical soloist, a flawless ensemble player with a gorgeous sound and spirit.

Also joining us this Tuesday is renowned Vancouver bass player Noah Gotfrit! Well-loved in Vancouver’s thriving swing music scene, we are delighted to bring Noah for his Tuesday Night Jazz debut, joining house piano favorite Dr. Tony Genge and drummer Kelby MacNayr.
