Our faculty line up for the 2007 jazz workshop is now online. We welcome back Rob Kohler, Len Aruliah and Stan Taylor this year to our faculty line up. Also as our enrolment demands have increased we are able to bring in two new faculty members this year. Kevin Hoferer and Morgan Scott will be joining us for the week. Kevin is a wonderful saxophonist and jazz educator from the east coast. He was last here in 2003 for series of concerts in Vancouver and a saxophone masterclass at the Delta Community Music School. Morgan Scott was in town for a brief visit last spring, some may remember him performing with the faculty ensemble at a fundraising event for the festival and workshop last March. They are both looking forward to joining the workshop this year. Trumpeter Alan Mattheson will also be joining us for a few sessions again this year, along with trombonist Brad Muirhead.

Our first concert of the spring series is coming up. Steve Maddock will be appearing at the Coast Hotel along with the Jared Burrows trio. Steve has a fantastic voice in the tradition of the great jazz singers of yesterday and today.
This is Steve’s second appearance in South Delta in recent years, he was a guest at last year’s Delta Youth Orchestra Cabaret, where he was extreamly well received by a sold out audience in the ballroom of the Town and Country Inn. If you enjoyed that concert, then you will really enjoy this one as well. Also Steve is appearing in early February with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in a special concert for Valentines day.
As always make your reservations early, these shows at the Beaches lounge tend to be sold out.

Hey, Thanks to everyone who came out tonight to hear Djangophilia at the Coast Hotel in Tsawwassen. We had a full house on a very blustery and rainy Wednesday night. Good food and good tunes.
