Wednesday October 29, 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Carnegie Theatre, 401 Main
We kick off Festival opening night with a Downtown Eastside community favourite, the Carnegie Jazz Band and their finger snappin’, toe tappin’, head boppin’ hot music. The band is comprised of enthusiastic amateur jazz musicians under the wonderful tutelage of multi-instrumentalist and composer Brad Muirhead. Join the band for an evening of jazz standards, original songs by Brad Muirhead and new jazz tunes by band members Mark Boreen, Gil Mattila, Gerry Teahan and Festival producer Terry Hunter. Expect something different, as each composition, just like our DTES community, is as unique as the composer! The band is also thrilled to welcome special guest, local pro jazz-man Brian Harding on trombone.
