This year marks the 100th anniversary of the first jazz recording - Livery Stable Blues by the Original Dixieland Jass Band. And what a year 1917 was for important birthdays: Ella, Dizzy, Thelonius, and Buddy. We’ll raise a glass of County wine to them all, and to a lot more who played influential roles in the development of jazz over the last century. Something new this year: For the first time, we’re presenting a “Featured Artist” for the entire week. We think violinist Drew Jerecka will be a big hit. Jerecka, who acknowledges the profound influence of the great Stephane Grappelli, is an alumnus of Jeff Healey’s Jazz Wizards, and will perform in a variety of concerts and jam sessions. To the delight of our audiences, this week-long ‘Wine County’ jazz affair is Canada’s only all-jazz-all-the-time gathering. And we pay as we go. No government financial help in a quieter part of Ontario with no anchoring big city nearby. And it’s all because we have what must be the most loyal and generous group of sponsors a festival could ever hope for. And once again, unique among jazz festivals, our Rising Young Star award winner will play with the very best musicians on our main stage through the week.

We continue to fulfill our mission with the help of dedicated faculty, energetic administrators, committed staff, generous benefactors and concerned citizens.

  • B.C. Jazz Legend Performing with Ensemble Vivant Group by Mary Cocivera
    B.C. jazz legend performing with Ensemble Vivant group by Mary Cocivera Ensemble Vivant, a group of five musicians, will take the stage at the Kelowna Community Theatre Thursday to weave some musical magic, ranging from Bach to Piazzolla. Known for its wide-ranging genre diversity, the Toronto-based ensemble will feature music with a distinctly Latin flavour. Jazz musician Don Thompson returns to his native British Columbia for this Kelowna gig. Born and raised in Powell River, he started his 50 year musical career with piano lessons, but started jamming with jazz musicians in his teens and moved to Vancouver in the early 1960s to play bass in Lloyd Arntzen's Dixieland quartet. When the neck broke off his borrowed bass, he bought his own bass and became one of the go-to bassists for countless studio sessions in Vancouver. He taught himself to play vibraphone and was the only vibes player in all of Vancouver at the time. Thompson moved to California in the late 1960s, to play and tour with saxophonist John Handy. As a pianist, bassist, percussionist, composer, arranger and producer, he is described as a musician who can move flawlessly from vibes to bass to piano and sound virtuosic on each instrument. Thompson played in Jim Hall's trio, George Shearing's band and has collaborated with Moe Koffman, Ed Bickert, Rob McConnell, Lenny Breau, Sarah Vaughan, Kenny Wheeler, Art Farmer, Phil Dwyer and many others. He has performed in Europe, Japan, Great Britain, South America and at every major jazz festival in North America.

  • Robert G. Doyle July 3, 1932 - November 24, 2014
    Robert G. Doyle July 3, 1932 - November 24, 2014 rom humble beginnings amidst the depression era and the war rationed 40’s, Bobby Doyle began playing the piano as a 10-year-old youngster growing up in New FWestminster, B.C. He was introduced to the rudiments with sporadic lessons from an elderly teacher who lived in the neighborhood, but he wasn’t too keen on classical piano. Being interested in popular music, he spent hours practicing on his own during his teenage years while friends played outside, or as he put it, “doing something girls mostly did”. Immersing himself in music, he soon began working locally, “plunking away in cowboy bands” at age 15. At age 16 he made his radio debut on CKNW with Mike, Mark & Jack, The Rhythm Pals, appearing on the popular Bill Rea show. These early experiences spawned a 60 plus year career as a prominent Vancouver musician and private teacher. In the 50’s he moved to Vancouver and began working at The Flame and The Vancouver Lawn & Tennis Club. Throughout the 60’s and into the 70’s he was a house band member in three of Vancouver’s most prominent supper clubs starting at Izzy’s, often at The Cave and ending at Oil Can Harry’s. This coincided with a musical association lasting over 40 years alongside He was always Vancouver’s iconic Bobby Hales. These clubs played host to myriad well-known entertainers engaged and and music performers. It was a fruitful era for live music in the city and the opportunity to play alongside and/or accompany the stars of the day, including Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, listening to what Stan Getz, Buddy Rich, Mitzi Gaynor, Robert Goulet, Sherry Lewis, Jack Carter, Red Buttons, a was going on…he young up and coming Stevie Wonder, Chubby Checker and countless more.

  • Sample Material © UBC Press 2018 MARIAN JAGO
    Praise for Live at the Cellar “In Live at the Cellar, Marian Jago deftly explores the phenomenon of co-operative jazz clubs, a neglected area in the study of jazz. While her book focuses on the fertile scene surrounding Vancouver’s Cellar Club and, to a lesser degree, parallel clubs in Edmonton, Calgary and Halifax, her methodology, insights, and conclusions provide an excellent basis for comparative work on co-operatives in the United States and Europe. A pioneering work, this book makes a substantial contribution to jazz scholarship.” – ROB BOWMAN, Grammy Award–winning musicologist and professor of ethnomusicology, York University “I grew up in Vancouver during the formative years of ‘the new jazz,’ and I was fortunate enough to be at the ‘right place and time’ to watch jazz history being made. These clubs were our jazz ‘school,’ where we learned all about this North American art form. Our music was formed in a ‘crucible’ of jazz, where all of the elements fused together to form something new. In Live at the Cellar, Marian Jago perfectly chronicles this chapter in Canadian jazz, something that few have revealed in such detail. Her amazing book captures the spirit and essence of that time and that experience.” – TERRY CLARKE, C.M., drummer and Canadian jazz icon “The Cellar on Watson Street was a huge part Vancouver’s jazz history and had an obvious influence on my own club, The Cellar on Broadway. I would’ve given anything to be around during the heyday of Vancouver’s jazz co-ops – this book helps me close my eyes and imagine what it was like to be there!” – CORY WEEDS, jazz musician and owner of The Cellar on Broadway Sample Material © UBC Press 2018 MARIAN JAGO live at the CELLAR vancouver’s iconic jazz club and the canadian co-operative jazz scene in the 1950s and ’60s Sample Material © UBC Press 2018 For all the players.

  • Mid West Program
    New Trier High School Jazz Ensemble I Winnetka, Illinois The Midwest Clinic An International Band and Orchestra Conference Chicago Hilton Grand Ballroom December 19, 2002 2:45 p.m. The NEW TRIER HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ ENSEMBLE I is the more advanced of four curricular jazz ensembles at New Trier High School. All jazz ensembles rehearse for forty minutes each school day and the students receive a grade for their participation. New Trier also offers four curricular concert bands and five orchestras. More than 120 students participate in the jazz studies program at New Trier. Some of the jazz artists who have performed with the New Trier Jazz Ensemble in- clude... Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, the rhythm section of the Count Basie Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Lew Tabacken, Ed Shaugnessy, Clark Terry, Louie Bellson, Jamie Aebersold, Bobby Shew, and more than 50 others listed later in this program. Believing that their graduates are their trophies, the New Trier jazz ensembles do not participate in competitive jazz events. However, Jazz Ensemble I has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festi- val and the North Sea Jazz Festival, twice at the conventions of the Intemational Association of Jazz Education, three times before today at the Midwest Interna- tional Band and Orchestra Clinic, a Music Educators National Conference, and the National Band Association convention. They have performed several times at Ravinia and the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. During the summer of 2000 the ensemble toured China for two weeks with the Cham- ber Orchestra, performing the first jazz concerts ever presented in the three major cities in the Henan Province, China’s most populated Prov- ince.
