Producer, founder of the Cellar Live Music Group and label, touring artist, president of the Fraser McPherson Jazz Fund, educator, booking manager for Frankie’s Jazz Club in Vancouver, and radio show host, it is a wonder what Cory Weeds doesn’t do.
The Moonlight Jazz Society is extremely honoured and pleased to present Juno and Grammy Award winning multi-faceted jazz Tenor Saxophonist Cory Weeds for our last concert of this exceptional inaugural first season at the Vibrant Vine Winery in East Kelowna, May 3rd, 2024.
Most recently, his label was awarded a Grammy for work with the Generation Gap Jazz Orchestra in 2023, and was listed as #8 in Downbeat Magazine’s Record Label of the Year. He was also listed as the #2 Rising Star Producer. His reach extends across the border and into New York City where he connects Vancouver players with New York’s best, and hosts the annual New York With Weeds Tour: 35 lucky souls join him on a journey into the nitty gritty of New York’s real live hidden jazz scene.
Tickets are available on Eventbrite. Doors open at 5pm, show starts at 6pm.
***Moonlight Jazz Society is in its first year of operations as Kelowna’s newest non-profit arts organization. The growing NPO aims to connect local audiences with contemporary jazz composers and arrangers in a big city-esque performance environments.
