The Winnipeg Jazz Collective is a group dedicated to performing music that is contemporary, creative, and Canadian. The majority of the music Winnipeg Jazz Collective performs has been composed and arranged for this group by members of the ensemble or written by Canadians such as Rob McConnell, Daniel Jamieson, and Andy Ballentyne. Their performances feature top notch improvisation, interesting and diverse compositions, and music you won’t hear anywhere else.
The members of the WJC include Kyle Wedlake, Derek Frykas, and Monica Jones on saxophones; Andrew Littleford and Matt Walden on Trumpet; Joel Green and Bill Green on Trombone; Alanna Fast on piano; Julian Bradford on bass; and Graydon Cramer on drums. This “Jazz at the Fort Garry” performance will feature Jon Challoner on trumpet.
Doors open at 6pm
