SUMMARY:Cory Weeds Plays Sonny Rollins + Saxophone Colossus screening at VIFF Centre
DESCRIPTION:Early bird tickets are available now! There are a limited number of early bird tickets available\, so don’t wait! \nGet Tickets\nCory Weeds is an expressive saxophonist with a warm and impactful sound rooted in jazz tradition. Jazz aficionados know that Cory\, when playing tenor or alto sax\, conveys an unerring sense of swing. Recording more than 20 albums as a leader that document his dynamic saxophone playing on both hard-swinging tunes and gentle ballads\, he has shared stages and recording studios with the likes of Bill Charlap\, Joey DeFrancesco\, Champian Fulton\, Jeff Hamilton\, Harold Mabern\, Roy McCurdy\, Brad Turner\, and many other high-level artists. He’s a fearless musician who embraces a broad range of playing situations and then delivers with performances that shine. \nOn this night he will be joined by pianist Sharon Minemoto\, bassist David Caballero and drummer Jesse Cahill to play music from Sonny Rollins’ 1957 Riverside Records release The Sound Of Sonny. Sonny’s performances and recordings were at a peak during 1957 as Down Beat magazine proclaimed him the Critics’ Poll winner under the category of ’New Star’ of the tenor saxophone. \nThis performance will be part of Vancouver Celebrates Sonny\, a multi-venue celebration in honour of the great Sonny Rollins’ birthday. \nAbout Sonny Rollins: Saxophone Colossus (Robert Mugge\, 1986\, 101 min\, Ira Gitler\, Gary Giddins\, Francis Davis) \n“In addition to capturing Rollins in prime form\, wielding his tenor in ways that have elicited hosannas from fans and critics alike for decades on end\, [the film] examines the saxophonist’s methodical approach to performing and improvising. Practice alone may take some musicians to Carnegie Hall\, but as Rollins tells Mugge at one point\, meditation and visualization are a big part of his pre-concert regimen. Here we also see\, during an outdoors concert filmed at the Opus 40 quarry garden in upstate New York\, various aspects of Rollins’ persona onstage: the full-throated improviser who seems incapable of physically exhausting himself or depleting the wealth of his ideas; the gifted dramatist\, skillfully balancing emotional tension and release; the unabashed entertainer\, whimsically stringing together the familiar melodies that pop into his head. (This is also the storied concert in which Rollins jumps off a six-foot stage ledge\, only to end up on his back with a broken heel. The misadventure\, however\, doesn’t prevent him from quickly resuming the performance\, albeit in a supine position.) The quintet concert footage is effectively juxtaposed with an ambitious\, large-scale production: the world premiere of Rollins’ Concerto For Tenor Saxophone and Orchestra\, performed in Tokyo by Rollins and the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra.” Mike Joyce\, Jazz Times

SUMMARY:George Garzone + Fire Music at VIFF Centre
DESCRIPTION:Early bird tickets are available now! There are a limited number of early bird tickets available\, so don’t wait! \nGet Tickets\nGeorge Garzone is a giant of the contemporary saxophone\, having performed with Jazz luminaries like Joe Lovano\, Jack DeJohnette\, Kenny Barron\, & Ingrid Jensen\, and having recorded over a dozen albums as a leader since the 1990s. In short\, he’s considered one of the true living masters of this instrument. He’ll be performing a very special set music at the VIFF Centre\, in tandem with a screening of Fire Music\, documenting the birth and growing pain of Free Jazz in the 1960s & 1970s. This music is near and dear to George’s heart and to celebrate it\, he’s enlisted one of the Pacific Northwest’s most explosive Jazz groups to perform with him\, the Jerry Steinhilber Trio. \nGeorge Garzone – Tenor Saxophone\nJosh Cook – Tenor Saxophone\nKing Dahl – Bass\nJerry Steinhilber – Drums \nAbout Fire Music (Tom Surgal\, 2021\, USA\, 84 min) \nThe most reviled and misunderstood evolution in the (repeatedly reviled and misunderstood) history of jazz\, Free Jazz took bebop as a key to unlock deeper mysteries of musical harmonics\, a transcendent art pioneered by John Coltrane\, Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor. You may think you don’t like improvisational jazz… but this is the film to open your ears to a spiritual quest analogous to abstract expressionism in painting\, or beat poetry in literature.

SUMMARY:(Advance tickets SOLD OUT) Köln 75 + Chris Gestrin at VIFF: Vancouver Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Experience the transcendent power of improvised music for a special VIFF Live concert and film screening. \nAdvance tickets SOLD OUT. \nLearn More\nRenowned Vancouver pianist Chris Gestrin performs a solo set of Keith Jarrett–inspired music to accompany this special event screening of Köln 75 — a film that captures the compelling\, entertaining\, and\, until now\, unknown back story of jazz pianist Keith Jarrett’s one-hour\, entirely improvised concert\, which became the best-selling solo album in jazz history. \nChris Gestrin is a stalwart of Vancouver’s jazz scene — a renowned pianist\, multi-keyboardist\, composer\, engineer\, and producer who has worked on over 500 albums covering a wide range of musical styles. From avant garde electronic improvisations to greasy soul organ music\, introspective piano jazz to top-of-the-charts pop\, rock\, and hip-hop\, Gestrin is in high demand for his eclectic talents and ability to bring a high level of musical inspiration to any situation. \nKeith Jarrett’s legendary performance in January 1975 nearly didn’t happen. Based on a true story\, Köln 75 explores how the concert was conceived and orchestrated by the efforts of an up-and-coming teenage concert promoter\, Vera Brandes (played by Mala Emde). Vera’s enthusiasm led her to multitasking — from organizing the Cologne Opera House as the concert venue\, to promoting the event\, selling the tickets\, and convincing Jarrett to perform when he almost dropped after the Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano he was promised was nowhere to be found. John Magaro plays Jarrett with his own intensity\, a sublime counterpoint to Emde’s joyful portrayal of the enthusiastic and unstoppable Vera. Köln 75 captures the compelling\, entertaining\, and\, until now\, unknown back story of Jarrett’s one-hour\, entirely improvised concert\, which became the best-selling solo album in jazz history.
