Event Description

Wednesday October 17
Gord Grdina (Vancouver) - 8pm
A blend of the intensity of John McLaughlin and the linear phrasing of Joe Morris, with a bit of John Zorn attitude thrown in for good measure. - Coda

Gord Grdina is a Vancouver-based guitarist and oud player whose unique sound combines jazz, free-form improvisation and Arabic classical music. Grdina is a protégé of jazz great Gary Peacock, a pillar of Vancouver’s jazz and world music scenes and a member of Box Cutter, East Van Strings, Sangha, Maqam, Loose Acoustic and Think Like the Waves.

Nicolas Bragg (Vancouver) - 9pm
Here performing The Burial of Count Orgaz, Nicolas Bragg has been a familiar face in Vancouver’s music circles since 1991. He’s been involved in projects with Blaise Pascal, Citroen, The Bellerophontic Letter, The Countless Jibes and veterans of the Vancouver indie-rock scene Destroyer.

Oren Ambarchi (Australia) - 10pm
Ambarchi does an amazing job of drawing the casual listener deep into his atmospheric world with a meditative intimacy that does a lot with so little. Minimalism at its most sublime. - Raf Katigbak

Oren Ambarchi treats listeners to his unmistakable style of delicately nuanced minimalism. His intimate, in-depth exploration of harmonics and resonance have led him to define seRené spaces of fluid, shifting sound that is both fragile and physical.

Bill Frisell (USA) - 11pm
Bill Frisell is the Clark Kent of the electric guitar. Soft-spoken and self-effacing in conversation, he apparently breathes in lungfuls of raw fire when he straps on his guitar. - Spin

Always anything but typical, guitarist, composer, band-leader and “jazz Renégade” Bill Frisell is well known as a purveyor of a unique sound that is both recognizable and uncategorizable. Over the years Frisell has lent his chameleon-like versatility to collaborations with John Zorn, Elvis Costello, Suzanne Vega, Rinde Eckert, Brian Eno and John Scofield just to name a few.
