JazzVespers Fall Line up 2011/9/7

We dare to call ourselves “Victoria’s hippest church” not because of our own arrogance but because more than one jazz musician has used such words to describe our Jazz Vespers programme, now entering its sixth season.

This meld of an ancient monastic service and improvisation-based jazz is now hugely popular.  Our musicians are amongst Western Canada’s finest performing musicians.  Our minister  improvises in his homily on the music presented.  This service is appropriate for those familiar with church and those new to any form of Christian Ministry.  JV occurs on the Third Sunday of each month, Sept – May at 7 p.m. 

Recent performers have included:

Joey Smith, Bass

Kelby MacNayr, Drums

Tony Genge, Piano

Joey Smith, Bass

Josh Dixon, Drums

Karel Roessingh, Piano

 The talent is brilliant; the mood is cool and reflective; God is named and celebrated . . . and there’s space for everyone, and we do mean . . . everyone

 There is no charge but a freewill offering is encouraged.
