SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Laura Crema Sings Lorenz Hart + Blue Moon Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Laura Crema has a rare interpretive gift that allows her to inhabit a song and dive deeply into the lyrics of an old standard to suggest new meanings\, shades and inferences that have lain dormant until they were lit up by the resonance\, depth\, and warmth of her voice. \nGet Tickets\nBorn and raised in Burnaby BC\, Laura Crema has performed and recorded with some of the finest musicians in Canadian jazz\, Roma jazz\, country\, roots\, and new and improvised music. She has toured and performed across Canada and Europe. She also has had the great honor to play many of Canada’s most prestigious jazz venues\, including The National Art Centre in Ottawa. Laura has recorded six critically acclaimed albums under her name\, the most recent is collection of original songs co-created with guitarist\, Bill Coon. For this unique performance at the VIFF Centre\, Laura has put together a set of some of Lorenz Hart’s most memorable songs written for stage & screen. \nLaura Crema – Vocals\nSharon Minemoto – Keyboard\nBill Coon – Guitar\nConrad Good – Bass\nNino DiPasquale – Drums\n\nAbout the film: Blue Moon (Richard Linklater\, US\, 2025\, 100 min) Ethan Hawke\, Margaret Qualley \nIn what has been described as the performance of his career\, Ethan Hawke plays the legendary songwriter Lorenz Hart. On the evening in 1943 when his long-standing collaborator\, composer Richard Rodgers is celebrating the triumph of the hit musical Oklahoma!\, penned by new partner Oscar Hammerstein\, the alcoholic\, homosexual and devastatingly astute Hart is pinning his hopes on a meeting with his protégé Elizabeth (Margaret Qualley). \n“Blue Moon revels in a fine mind and a great soul\, and Hawke’s embodiment of both is exalted and startling. His makeup renders him unrecognizable and is eerily compelling\, while his vocal self-transformation is nothing short of miraculous.” — Richard Brody\, New Yorker \n“Like a backstage pass for Broadway buffs\, it’s one hell of a show for those in the know\, and a sparkling introduction for the uninitiated.” — Peter Debruge\, Variety \n“As elegantly witty and luxuriantly melancholic as one of Rogers and Hart’s toe-tapping\, heart-swelling compositions.” — Wendy Ide\, The Observer

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT Vince Mai Plays Mancini + A Shot in the Dark Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Trumpeter and film composer Vince Mai returns to the VIFF Centre with his quintet to play selected hits of celebrated film composer Henry Mancini prior to a screening of the beloved Pink Panther movie A Shot in the Dark. \nGet Tickets\nMancini was a well known composer whose scores include Peter Gunn\, Breakfast at Tiffany’s\, Days of Wine and Roses\, 10\, The Party\, and of course the Pink Panther series. Mancini’s genius was in his ability to meld jazz with the contemporary in order to evoke the emotions necessary for a memorable dramatic film score. \nJoining Vince will be Miles Black on keys\, Bernie Arai on drums\, Laurence Mollerup on bass\, and Steve Kaldestad on saxophone. This should be a very special evening. \nAbout A Shot in the Dark (Blake Edwards\, 1964\, USA\, 103 min) \nThe second film in the series was rushed into production after the unexpected popularity of Peter Sellers’ bumbling detective Inspector Clouseau in the previous year’s caper The Pink Panther. This is where Clouseau comes into his own\, along with first appearances from Herbert Lom as his long-suffering boss Commissioner Dreyfus\, and Burt Kwouk as his man servant Cato.

SUMMARY:City Pop City ft. Chen Baker at the Rickshaw
DESCRIPTION:10 person band playing your favourite Japanese 80’s pop hits! \nGet Tickets\nEver since Mariya Takeuchi’s Plastic Love mysteriously went viral on YouTube in 2017\, funky Japanese pop music from the late 70s and 80s (collectively known as City Pop) has slowly solidified itself as a mainstay of global internet culture. Through the bittersweet yet relentlessly catchy melodies\, slappin’ basslines\, energetic disco beats\, and ample amounts of reverb; listeners vicariously conjure the memories of a nation basking at the height of economic boom\, blissfully unaware of the bright future that will never materialize. \nBrought to you by local jazz-fusion group Chen Baker\, City Pop Nights will attempt to bring you said experience in the flesh. The night will mostly consist of hits from genre staples such as Miki Matsubara\, Taeko Ohnuki\, Tasturo Yamashita\, and Casiopea; along with Western songs that also echo the sentiment. \nInfidels Jazz Presents City Pop Featuring Chen Baker\nFriday\, January 23rd\, 2026\nThe Rickshaw Theatre\n19+\nDoors: 8:00pm
