Winnipeg jazz fixture Ron Paley played a classically jazzy solo piano performance on Saturday, May 11th at the Bassment club in Saskatoon. This is a mini gallery of photos from his show. Paley has notched his belt touring with the Buddy Rich and Woody Herman bands, and has been playing, arranging, and composing jazz and big band music for forty years.
April 30 was International Jazz Day and cause for celebration at the Bassment club in Saskatoon. The Story of Jazz was a special concert hosted by Mark DeJong that paid tribute to jazz’s unique culture, history and language. This post is a collection of images from that concert.
The Brothers Arntzen Band swung into the Bassment in Saskatoon on April 23, and with the dance floor bursting at the seams, put on one hell of show. This post is a collection of images from that concert. The hot and sweet New Orleans flavoured jazz quartet from Vancouver is on the homeward leg of their prairie tour, with stops planned in Unity, Kerrobert, Edam, and Lloydminster, then off to Alberta and back across the Rockies.
Aaron Adair, Saskatoon’s own high school teaching soul man, put on an candlelit concert in the round at the Refinery on Friday, April 12. This post is a collection of images from that concert. The show was a celebration of the release of his album Aanalog, which was officially launched this week.
