Live Music

Betty Davis was one of the most important voices of 1970's funk....a flamboyant pop diva a full decade before there was such a thing, with a discography full of sexually aggressive and incredibly funky tunes that weren't hits, but should have been. She's long been an influence on Vancouver based keyboardist, producer, and all-around phenom Mary Ancheta, which has led Mary to this special night at Hero's Welcome full of Davis' most loved tunes, as well as some deep cuts. For this can't miss show, Mary's MAQkestra will feature: Mary Ancheta - Keys Dominic Conway - Saxophones Feven Kidane - Trumpet Tristan Paxton - Guitar Matt Reid - Bass Paul Clark - Drums As well as extremely special guest vocalists: Dawn Pemberton Leo D.E. Johnson Krystle Dos Santos This performance is presented by Infidels Jazz. Doors 7PM | Music 8PM | 19+ - Must have valid ID BUY TICKETS HERE! […]

Postcards From Zambia are a polyrhythmic fusion of modal jazz and traditional percussion music from various Zambian cultures. Though the group draws inspiration from all over this central/southern African country, their repertoire is especially focussed on Luvale (and related) music from Zambia's Northwestern Province. In essence, the Postcards recreate a traditional ngoma ensemble through the orchestration, improvisation, and arranging tendencies of the jazz idiom. Percussionist Jason Winikoff and drummer Chris Blaber recreate the tightly interlocking rhythmic foundation while Feven Kidane (trumpet), Dean Thiessen (piano), and Noah Gotfrit (bass) fill the roles of a call-and-response choir. The result is an energetic, grooving, joyful, and powerful musical meditation that can be enjoyed from the contemplative comfort of your seat or the dancefloor. Bandleader and arranger Jason Winikoff has spent years studying under, performing alongside, and working with various elite Zambian dance troupes such as Lenga Navo, Likumbi Lya Mize Chibolya, and Chota. He is […]
