Some of you may remember a particularly rocking mardi-gras night from 2019 when we were first introduced to Brad's fiery trombone sounds. Kelby has been working to get him back, and this week finally, we welcome Brad Shigeta back to the Sanctuary with a super unique show with not one but TWO amazing trombone players.
Here's a quote from the TD Jazz Festival in Vancouver from a few years ago:
Canadian jazz trombonist Brad Shigeta is a proud new resident of Vancouver after two decades living in New York City where he performed, toured and recorded with Clifford Jordan, Illinois Jacquet, Wynton Marsalis, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra under the direction of Mercer Ellington.
The Brad Shigeta Boptet features fiery new arrangements of bebop standards of the ’40s and ’50s. If you enjoy hard swinging melodic jazz, this is the band for you!
When I watch the one camera live-streams from early in the pandemic, I cringe a bit, but here's a short clip of Brad Shigeta playing at Guilt and Co. in Vancouver from July 2020. (it makes me appreciate just how great our livestreams are)
