Busheikin/Villette are especially excited to present their next show featuring "the hardest working man in Jazz business" Cory Weeds. Weeds is an integral pillar of the Vancouver jazz community and helps connect it with the wider world by bringing internationally acclaimed players to the city. This has built a strong audience for jazz in Vancouver given countless opportunities to up and coming players. His work has also been a big part of our inspiration to start this series at the Lighthouse so we are particularly pleased he can join us for this show. Weeds also happens to be an exceptional musician and has recorded over 20 albums as a leader. He has also performed with countless Jazz legends including Christian Mcbride, Joey Defrancesco and Harold Mabern. For this show we are also featuring the great organist Chris Gestrin who is a long time collaborator with Weeds. Gestrin has worked on a staggering 483 albums and is a top call organist in the BC music scene. Expect a mix of soul, groove, grease and driving swing from this show at Nanaimo most picturesque venue, the Lighthouse Bistro.
