ejp626 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Probably a tie between Sonny Rollins and Vijay Iyer at 5-6 times, then Dave Brubeck and Rudresh Mahanthapa at 4 or so times. Von Freeman is somewhere in the mix between 4-6 times. Joshua Redman 4 times (twice with the SF Jazz Collective). I've probably seen Jason Moran 3 or so times, but once was as a sideman. I don't keep great records on this, and I also don't go out nearly as much as I used to. And virtually no one tours Vancouver. But there's a very good Vancouver jazz scene. Even at this distance I know about Cory Weeds and club dates like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsBApFh2f9E The Cellar Door has shut down. Cory may return with a different venue down the road. It's a matter of perspective, but I don't consider Vancouver to have a good jazz scene, certainly not a thriving one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
