Tuesday Night Jazz presents the Toronto-based Brodie West Quintet featuring Tania Gill
Date: Tuesday, October 29th, 2024
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: James Bay United Church, 511 Michigan St.
Admission is by donation, with a suggested contribution of $20. However, everyone is welcome, regardless of contribution.
Saxophonist, composer, and bandleader extraordinaire Brodie West returns to his home stomping ground of Victoria with an all-star quintet to present some of the most exuberant, creative, and beautiful improvised jazz you are likely to ever hear!
Brodie West has spent much of his life developing his authentic voice in an art form that demands both originality and fluency in the language of past innovators.
In the vast array of possibilities that we call jazz, Brodie brings together the traditions of melody, joyous rhythm, and harmony to shape a band sound fully committed to life—and music—in the present moment.
The Toronto-based double-drummer quintet features West Coast expats Tania Gill and Brodie West, joined by bassist Josh Cole, along with Nick Fraser and Philippe Melanson on drums.
“A radiance and elegance that’s indebted to classic jazz, but tweaked in their own inimitable vision.” — Take Effect
