We miss you.
Our fall audiences have been enthusiastic but small.
Over the pandemic, with costs rising and in person audiences dwindling, we made a decision to raise our suggested donation at the door from $10 to $20 per person. And we wonder if that is keeping you away?

Two thoughts:
1. Please remember that $20 is a suggested donation, and that we would like to see you. Know that you can donate whatever is comfortable for you.
2. Please feel free to write us at this address and let us know what your thoughts are about Tuesday Night Jazz, your attendance, pricing ... we're here and listening.

Get ready for a swinging night of traditional jazz celebrating the musical legacies of New Orleans and Kansas City!

Saxophonist and clarinettist Al Pease has toured the world playing traditional jazz, stationed with the prestigious NORAD band in Colorado and the Naden Band of the Pacific on the West Coast, as well as sideman and leader roles in countless traditional jazz groups and projects.  Drawing on influences such as Lester Young, Zoot Sims and Ben Webster on the tenor saxophone and Benny Goodman and Woody Henderson on the clarinet, Al Pease fluently speaks the language of 1930s and 40s swing era music like no one else can!

With pianist Toni Blodgett, bassist Joey Smith and drummer Kelby MacNayr.

Happy to report that Discovering Jazz is #6 on FeedSpots' top 60 Jazz Podcasts.

Here's a link to the podcast https://discoveringjazz.ptbopodcasters.ca/podcast/.

The last three episodes are from the archives ... one with Kelby MacNayr on jazz drumming, one on Birds and a Bit of Bird (you can hear jazz that was inspired by bird songs), and the most recent one on Six Great Songs and Their Stories. These are from Victoria, B.C.

Starting November 22nd Larry will be posting some new episodes from his new (and old) home of Edmonton, Alberta.
