Top Vancouver artists team up to celebrate one of the most innovative jazz musicians that ever lived!

Combining contemporary jazz & pre-war brass & marching band music in ways that nobody had before or since, Albert Ayler (1936-1970) was one of the foremost innovators behind what would eventually be called “Free jazz”, alongside people like Ornette Coleman & John Coltrane.

On October 25, legendary Vancouver guitarist Tony Wilson assembles some of the city’s finest musicians for a rare tribute concert to this iconoclastic saxophonist, at one of Vancouver’s hippest jazz venues.
