A Tribute to Lee Morgan: Feven Kidane plays Lee Morgan + I Called Him Morgan Film Screening
2026-03-21 19:30 - 22:30 | VIFF Centre, 1181 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 3M7, Canada
Feven Kidane is one of the most exciting musicians on the Canadian Jazz Scene, packing venues all over Vancouver with a myriad of different projects, including several sold out shows at VIFF in recent years.
Get Tickets
She’ll be returning on March 21st with an all-star group, paying tribute to the music and legacy of one of the greatest trumpeters in Jazz history, Lee Morgan. Before his life was tragically cut short at the age of 33, Morgan had quickly become one of the American Jazz scene’s biggest stars, from stints with Art Blakey, Wayne Shorter, and many more. On March 21st, Kidane will be celebrating his music, followed by a screening of I Called Him Morgan, a fascinating documentary about the life & times of this icon.
Feven Kidane – Trumpet
Piano – Suin Park
Bass – Milo Johnson
Drums – Karl DeJong
About the Film: I Called Him Morgan (Kasper Collin, Sweden, 2016, 92 min)
At the heart of Kasper Collin’s poignant and evocative documentary is the only interview with Helen More, widow of the jazz trumpet legend Lee Morgan (The Sidewinder), recorded many years after his shocking, premature death.
Helen had been Lee’s savior and redeemer when his heroin addiction put him on the street in the 1960s. To that point he’d been riding high, a teenage protégé of Dizzy Gillespie, who played with Miles Davis, Art Blakey and Herbie Hancock. More has her own story too, and they converged in a beautiful love affair — at least for a while.
You don’t have to be a jazz fan to appreciate the multiple, tragic ironies that makes this film such a sucker punch of a crime story, but by the end you will probably find yourself seeking out some more Lee Morgan sounds. Interviews with Wayne Shorter, Paul West and Jymie Merritt complete the picture.
Musicians sometimes paraphrase Debussy, or one another, in saying that music is the silence between the notes. I Called Him Morgan has it all — the notes and the silence, plus the music of spoken language, pitched in rueful tones of recollection.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Using a dazzling blend of cinematic tools, aural as well as visual, Collin recreates both individual lives and an entire world.
Kenneth Turan, LA Times
A more comprehensive biography of Lee Morgan’s life and career would make a great documentary, but that is not this documentary. I Called Him Morgan is smaller than that and much bigger at the same time. It is about Lee and Helen and a love gone wrong; it is about how men use women; it is about genius and those who want a piece of it; and it is about what can and cannot be forgiven. Shot simply, delivered clearly, and accompanied by one hell of a soundtrack.
Ahamefule J. Oluo, The Stranger

SOLD OUT Erika Chow + Blue Giant
2026-03-24 19:30 - 22:30 | VIFF Centre, 1181 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 3M7, Canada
Revered pianist Hiromi Uehar composed the score for this electrifying jazz anime, a movie which makes no apology for its obsession with the sound and fury of musical ferment.
Get Tickets
It’s the story of Dai, a young man who decides he’s going to to be the next John Coltrane. He leaves his sleepy hometown for the crowded nightclubs of Tokyo, and eventually forms a trio — Jass — with pianist Yukinori and drummer Shunji. But do they have what it takes to make it?
The director Yuzuru Tachikawa has described the film as “a concert in the theatre”, and that’s right: this movie is all about applying animation to express musicality. Which is why this is the definitive jazz movie of the last decade.
Japanese dialogue with English subtitles. 120 mins

This screening will be preceded by an hour-long set from a quartet led by Erika Chow on tenor sax (7:30 pm sharp)

Erika Chow is a Vancouver-based saxophonist known for her incredible Jazz chops and for selling out multiple shows for Infidels Jazz in recent years.
Featuring some of the very best musicians on the contemporary Vancouver Jazz scene, Erika’s quartet will perform a selection of tunes from the movie’s soundtrack, as well as a few originals and standards.
Erika Chow – Tenor Saxophone
Rick Son – Keyboards
Raphael Agustin – Bass
Jordy McIntosh – Drums
The film beautifully captures the power of live performance, the passion and intensity woven into the fabric of jazz, and most impressively the way they pour their life experiences into their art. So the key for each of them as they develop as musicians is to bare their souls. This is bold, thrilling, powerfully moving storytelling.
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
Bursting off the screen in a cacophony of improvised jam sessions and electrifying solo performances, Blue Giant proves an intoxicating kaleidoscope of ambition, passion, sacrifice and all that jazz.
James Marsh, South China Morning Post
Blue Giant is as improbably close to watching a live performance as animation can get. A swooning big-screen experience.
