Brad Pearson Trio at Frankie’s After Dark
2024-11-22 23:00 - 23:59 | Frankie’s Jazz Club, 755 Beatty St, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 2M4, Canada
Brad Pearson has performing professionally on the Vancouver music scene since 2016 when he graduated with a bachelors of applied music from Vancouver Community College; studying classical double bass with Laurence Mollerup, and electric bass with Cameron Hood. He has performed with local legends Hugh Fraser, Campbell Ryga, Brad Turner, and Buff Allen. This bassist is best known for his associations with saxophone great John Gross, as well as the rapidly ascending piano virtuoso Jimi James Fraser. Brad has developed his sound from a wide range of influences; both his improvisations and compositions are informed by jazz titans such as McCoy Tyner, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Bill Evans as well as contemporary bassists such as Renaud Garcia-Fons, Janek Gwizdala, Mathew Garrison, and Damien Erskine. The bassists sound and approach was also largely shaped by his pre-academic years playing blues music with Delta Blue, Metal with GFAP, and progressive rock with Grizzly Bones. When not performing, Brad runs Pearson Instruments, a busy Vancouver guitar repair shop. He also designs and builds his own electric basses which he performs on exclusively when not playing acoustic bass.
For this Frankie’s After Dark performance, Brad will be joined by guitarist Joel Faulkner, and drummer Jamison Ko, playing electric renditions of classic jazz standards, fusion, and original compositions.

Feven Kidane Quartet + Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat at VIFF Centre
2024-11-16 19:00 - 21:00 | VIFF Centre, 1181 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 3M7, Canada
A fierce talent on the local jazz scene, trumpeter Feven Kidane presents a very special set of original music inspired by the documentary Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat… music which seeks to connect with the film and embody a learning spirit, remembrance, and decades-old shared grief.
Feven explains, “this film gives me mixed feelings. not mixed as in “i’m half in”, but mixed in the fact that the content itself is so emotional that my horn will have to work extra hard. mixed in the fact that its honesty hurts me. this film has me enraged, inspired, and activated. it gives me hope for a united Blackness, but upset by constant thwarted plans for its achievement.”
For this occasion, Feven’s band consists of Quincy Mayes on keys, Bernie Arai on drums, and Milo Johnson on bass.
About Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat:
Artfully juxtaposing archival news reports, investigative interviews, and jazz, Johan Grimonprez’s essay film takes a fresh look at the notorious events in the wake of Congo’s independence in the early 1960s, culminating in the assassination of the country’s first democratically-elected leader, Patrice Lumumba. It’s a film about the deceit at the heart of colonialism, and about how jazz (Louis Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach) figured into the politics of the Cold War and Black Liberation.

Postcards From Zambia at Hero's Welcome
2024-11-07 19:00 - 22:00 | Hero’s Welcome, 3917 Main Street, Vancouver, BC, V5V 3P2, Canada
Postcards From Zambia are a polyrhythmic fusion of modal jazz and traditional percussion music from various Zambian cultures. Though the group draws inspiration from all over this central/southern African country, their repertoire is especially focussed on Luvale (and related) music from Zambia’s Northwestern Province. In essence, the Postcards recreate a traditional ngoma ensemble through the orchestration, improvisation, and arranging tendencies of the jazz idiom. Percussionist Jason Winikoff and drummer Chris Blaber recreate the tightly interlocking rhythmic foundation while Feven Kidane (trumpet), Dean Thiessen (piano), and Noah Gotfrit (bass) fill the roles of a call-and-response choir. The result is an energetic, grooving, joyful, and powerful musical meditation that can be enjoyed from the contemplative comfort of your seat or the dancefloor. Bandleader and arranger Jason Winikoff has spent years studying under, performing alongside, and working with various elite Zambian dance troupes such as Lenga Navo, Likumbi Lya Mize Chibolya, and Chota. He is a student of the renowned cultural custodians Kapalu Lizambo, Josephine Sombo Muzala Chipango, William Vunda, and Douglas Mwila as well as a proud partner of the Likumbi Lya Mize Cultural Association. He is honored to bring a slice of Luvale culture to Vancouver with the help of this scene’s most creative and sensitive musicians.

“When does one begin dying?” That’s the first question posed by this poetical but direct contemplation of mortality. A unique collaboration between guitarist Ron Samworth and filmmaker Melissa Hubert, The Etiquette of Dying came out of Ron’s experience with cancer a few years ago, which inspired a suite, and which in turn inspired Hubert’s 50-minute animated film. After the screening Ron and Melissa will take audience questions, and then Ron will lead a 4-piece band in an improvised live performance featuring Peggy Lee (Cello), Elisa Thorn (Harp) and and Jesus Caballero (Drums).
The Etiquette of Dying invites audiences on a transformative audiovisual journey, encouraging reflection on the human experience and our relationship with mortality. With evocative music and striking visuals, the piece explores the dimensions of the dying process, encompassing its mental, emotional, and physical aspects. Samworth’s composition captures the nuanced emotions of this transitional period. Through her visual direction, Hubert evokes a sense of contemplation and contemplation in viewers. Featuring Vancouver musicians Peggy Lee, JP Carter, Elise Thorn, André Lachance, and Jesus Adrian Caballero Ramirez and narrator Patti Wotherspoon, the suite provides a rich listening experience through various musical energies, improvisation, and instrumental textures.
