Featuring the JazzTimes’ Readers’ Poll 2020 winner for Best Female Vocalist, the Angela Vebrugge Quartet presents a carefully-chosen selection of songs recorded by June Christy, Blossom Dearie, Helen Merrill and Chris Connor with their own swingin spin. The retro feel and mood of the cool jazz aesthetic will make for a sizzlin’ night out featuring fun and romantic songs popularized in the 1940s and 50s.
Angela, now based in Victoria, has gathered an incredible list of media accolades for her recordings and has become a local’s favourite with her Oswego Hotel jazz vocal jazz residency. This year, she toured her music across Canada, to England, Germany and Turkey.
JazzWeekly writes that the classic songbird, lyricist and composer is “fun and quirky… cleverly swings…is both hip and a hoot, wispy and romantic and that in the Archie Comics of life, this lady is a bubbly Betty."
The Jimi James Fraser trio was started 2 years ago in Vancouver B.C when several students of music decided to move in together and create Jazz House. Brad Pearson is a student of Vcc, a great luthier and an even greater musician. Max Huberdeau studied jazz at Capilano and constantly brings fresh concepts to the group.
So set your pin curls and don your dapper attire… and don’t miss reserving your table! One night only!
