George Garzone Live + Fire Music Film Screening at Viff Centre

About

George Garzone is a giant of the contemporary saxophone, having performed with Jazz luminaries like Joe Lovano, Jack DeJohnette, Kenny Barron, & Ingrid Jensen, and having recorded over a dozen albums as a leader since the 1990s. In short, he’s considered one of the true living masters of this instrument. He’ll be performing a very special set music at the VIFF Centre, in tandem with a screening of Fire Music, documenting the birth and growing pain of Free Jazz in the 1960s & 1970s. This music is near and dear to George’s heart and to celebrate it, he’s enlisted one of the Pacific Northwest’s most explosive Jazz groups to perform with him, the Jerry Steinhilber Trio.
