BRUNO HUBERT

Bruno Hubert is one of Canada’s most lyrical and expressive jazz pianists, with a deep sense of swing, lush harmonies, and beguiling melodic lines. His conception, while highly original and utterly genuine, is evocative of, at once, Erroll Garner, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans and other luminaries of jazz. While he is careful to stress that he is not a composer, he nevertheless presents a cornucopia of medley-like arrangements of jazz standards, soul, rock and pop influenced pieces, often in a lively night club environment.

Mr. Hubert has been quietly underpinning the Vancouver jazz scene for over twenty years now and while he has a number of recordings under his own name, he is also a key associate of other top jazz musicians such as Juno Award winner Brad Turner (Trumpet), Juno nominated vocalists Jaclyn Guillou and Denzal Sinclaire, Seamus Blake and others. Earlier in his career he collaborated with such musical luminaries as Gino Vannelli, and Nora Jones.

The Trio: Bruno Hubert – piano, James Megar – bass, Joe Poole – drums

One of the most distinguished pianists of his generation, Joey Calderazzo has released 13 albums as a bandleader and has risen from child prodigy to elite jazz musician.

Early collaborations with Michael Brecker and groundbreaking solo recordings for Blue Note Records were key moments in Calderazzo’s career, leading him to a more lyrical, rhythmically diverse, and subtle approach to piano playing.

Originally trained as a classical pianist, Calderazzo studied jazz greats such as Art Tatum, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, drawing inspiration from their work to create his own unique style. Albums such as Haiku and Amanecer  showcase his solo piano explorations, fusing tradition with his personal voice.
