Join us at Jacko’s Underground Lounge, the Vibrant Vine’s speakeasy venue, April 5th, 2024 as the new non-profit arts’ organization Moonlight Jazz Society presents vocalist Anna Jacyszyn who with a deep respect and admiration for the great ladies of jazz that proceeded her, offers playfulness and pure joy in every performance.

With movie credits under her belt and an album “Lush Life” co-created with local bassist Bernie Addington, Jacyszyn is a cornerstone performer in the local jazz scene whose captivating performances are part theatre and part musical prowess. Alongside a lifetime career singing and curating jazz in the Okanagan she also spent a lot of time overseas and performed for royalty, at FIFA World & European Cups, and the Monaco & Shanghai Grand Prix.

She recently received the 2022 Fringe Award for Favourite Show with her original performance “Can I Sing a Song for You?” and offered it up last year at the Creekside Theatre in Lake Country. We are so pleased to have one of the valley’s quintessential jazz artists join MJS for the seventh concert of our inaugural series.

Moonlight Jazz Society (MJS) is a NEW non-profit focused on facilitating connection between primarily composers and arrangers, venues, and audiences to foster synergy in the local and provincial jazz community.

In its first year, MJS created an 8-concert series in partnership with the Vibrant Vine winery’s new piano room made possible by the generous contribution of Simon Nuttgens out of Naramata and other community sponsors.
