Jazz @ Centre 64 got off to a great start on Thursday night (March 21) with a spellbinding performance by the Sikala / Lemanczyk / Hornby project, featuring saxophonist Maciej Sikala, bassist Piotr Lemanczyk and drummer Tyler Hornby. The unusual combination of instruments gave the music wonderful spaciousness – with no lack of swing! – while the players’ energetic, virtuosic playing earned enthusiastic applause and whoops from the crowd.

“It was a great listening crowd,” said Hornby after the show. “We loved playing for them!”

Jazz @ Centre 64 continues tonight, Tuesday, March 26 with Vancouver vocalist Andrea SUPERstein. Sultry and sublime, SUPERstein embodies smoky blues and sassy swing, guiding you through a fantastical world of dimly lit speakeasies and lavish nightclubs. Her sound is both hauntingly familiar yet compellingly new. She’s Sarah Vaughan, meets Blossom Dearie, meets your favourite martini. Tuesday’s concert will take place at Kimberley United Church at 7:30 p.m.

For those with advance tickets, The Burrito Grill, one of Jazz @ Centre 64’s sponsors, is offering a special concert-night deal: show your ticket and enjoy a free appetizer or drink with your meal. So save your appetite and plan to make a night of it!
