Busheikin/Villette present their next large scale concert featuring New York tenor saxophonist Jerry Weldon! Weldon is a musical titan and veteran of the NY jazz scene. Joining the front line, also on tenor sax, is the one and only Cory Weeds. Weeds is a huge inspiration for Busheikin/Villette as both a music promoter and musician. He is often regarded as "the hardest working man in jazz business". Weeds often brings world class talent to play in Vancouver and gives Busheikin/Villette the opportunity to present these acts on the island. This concert is no exception and will feature music from Weeds and Weldon's 2025 album "Cory Weeds Meets Jerry Weldon".
The Band:
Jerry Weldon - Tenor Saxophone
Cory Weeds - Tenor Saxophone
John Lee - Piano
Kosma Busheikin - Upright Bass
Graham Villette - Drums
