Sunday Jazz Matinee at James Bay United Church proudly presents the Great American Songbook Trio!

Featuring the legendary pianist and vocalist Ms. Louise Rose, bassist Joey Smith, and drummer/vocalist Kelby MacNayr, the Great American Songbook Trio is a true tour de force of jazz.

Celebrating the limitless possibilities of melody, harmony, rhythm, and lyric, the trio brings to life classic compositions from the Great American Songbook with heart, soul, and the in-the-moment spontaneity that has earned them an international reputation.

Join us for a very special Tuesday Night Jazz featuring four of the West Coast’s most dynamic, accomplished, and compelling virtuosos!

The Hans Verhoeven Quartet brings together lyrical saxophonist Roy Styffe, virtuoso English pianist Nicolas Peck, brilliant and understated JUNO Award-winning bassist Ken Lister, and powerhouse drummer Hans Verhoeven at the helm.

Roy Styffe, Nick Peck, Ken Lister, and Hans Verhoeven create a mosaic of ideas and patterns that dances and shifts through a range of feelings, thoughts, and atmospheres. From soaring, ethereal melodies to low-down, funky street beats, this quartet bustles, floats, and shimmies its way through a range of compositions — from Charlie Parker to Kenny Wheeler and everything in between. Spontaneity, openness, endless possibilities, and lightning-fast responsiveness are the hallmarks of this crack team of collective improvisers.
