Feven Kidane Trio
Electricity meets fusion to create original sound: trumpeter Feven Kidane partners up with bassist Cole Woodland and drummer Todd Stewart for a powerful version of the Feven Kidane Trio. Incorporating elements of free improvisation and jazz, this trio works in seamless synergy to bring powerful heat to one’s ears. Not a band to miss!
A budding artist on the West Coast, Kidane is a multi-instrumentalist, musical electronicist, composer, and arranger based out of Musqueam/Squamish/Tsleil-Waututh territory. Inspired by the art of Blackness, her practice revolves around decolonization, spirituality, and the complexities of human experience.
Longhand Trio
Saxophonist Peder Long was a little-known but extremely prolific composer who wrote hundreds of unreleased songs. In the mid-1980s, he mentored the now-iconic West Coast guitarist Tony Wilson, who also played in Long’s band. Decades later, Tony’s Longhand Trio has recorded a full album of Peder’s music which they’ll present alongside special guest violinists Jesse Zubot (Tanya Tagaq) and Josh Zubot (Land of Kush).
The Zubots are remarkable talents who match traditional mastery of their instruments with wide-screen, cinematic use of electronics and extended techniques. With JUNO Award winners Russell Sholberg bass and Kenton Loewen drums, Longhand’s lyrical interpretations of Peder Long’s music border on the spiritual.
