The Sunday Jazz Matinee at James Bay United Church presents the Swing Rhythm Kings featuring organist Dr. Tony Genge.

The swinging sounds of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong come to life with this jazz supergroup — an all-star, intergenerational jazz quartet.

Drummer and vocalist Kelby MacNayr partners with longtime musical collaborator Dr. Tony Genge and young virtuosos — trumpeter Owen Chow and tenor saxophonist Cole Ashley — for a swinging afternoon of jazz classics.

Admission by donation ($20 suggested). Everyone is welcome, regardless of their ability to contribute.

Drummer and bandleader Kelby MacNayr assembles five of the West Coast's finest jazz musicians to celebrate the classic sound and feel of the Blue Note era with the music of Cannonball Adderley, Horace Silver, Duke Pearson, and Art Blakey.

Featuring:
Miguelito Valdes — trumpet
Roy Styffe — saxophone
Dr. Tony Genge — piano
Peter Dowse — bass
Kelby MacNayr — drums

In a concert that celebrates not only the compositional genius and aesthetic of the era, but also honours the true spirit and essence of jazz — the authenticity of creative spirit, innovation, and collective experience — this ensemble brings together a wealth of musical traditions, histories, and personalities.
