Jazz Legends, Afro-Latin Groove Music, & Tributes to Bill Frisell & Coltrane
Infidels Jazz is heading into one of our biggest weeks ever, with 10 concerts over 7 days at 7 different venues!
It all starts tomorrow night, September 18 with Robin Layne & The Rhythm Makers, who will be playing our popular Social Music Series at Hero's Welcome. If you love Afro-Latin groove music, this one is a can't miss.
We're back at Zameen Art House this weekend, as Noah Franche-Nolan brings his piano trio to this great space for the first time on September 19, featuring Jodi Proznick on bass and Nick Bracewell on drums. Noah is one of the finest pianists in the country and this edition of the Expression Sessions series is a rare opportunity to hear this trio in such an intimate space.
A few days later Graham Ord plays our New Thing series at Zameen, joined by Bruce Freedman, Karlis Silins, James Meger, and Kenton Loewen. Graham has been a stalwart in our improvised music scene for many years.
After a break of several months, we're back at All-City Athletics on September 20, with our popular Knockouts Series. Our featured band is Look Out For Hope, featuring Bradshaw Pack on pedal steel guitar, Karlis Silins on bass, and Kenton Loewen on drums. They will be celebrating the music of Bill Frisell.
Jillian Lebeck will be hosting our monthly jam session at Hero's Welcome on September 21, and a few hours later Rick Son will be leading a fantastic group at our Trios series at Meo Chinatown.
Boston tenor legend George Garzone will be playing three concerts for us this week! He's already sold out two John Coltrane shows at Tyrant Studios on September 23rd (There will some standing room only spots at the door), and he'll also play at the VIFF Centre on September 24th, followed by a screening of a great free jazz documentary called Fire Music.
Last but not least, guitarist Henry Guinn will be leading his first Infidels show as a leader at our Pass the Hat Series on September 22 at Hot Deli.
