Electrojazziness – An Interactive Improvised Concert (Kaslo)

Electrojazziness is a 100% improvised duo featuring the amazing Montreal-based jazz piano maestro Alex McNally and the Nelson-based live-music-production-wizard and freestyle rapper thisissami.
These two life-long improvisers come from completely different music backgrounds, yet their journeys intertwined last summer with the development of this jazz, electronic, and hip hop fusion project in Montreal parks. Their mad skills are now taking them on a 15-show tour across BC!
This evening will begin with a workshop at 7:15pm where you will get a chance to learn music production & performance techniques from these pros and collaborate with them. At 8:00pm, we kick off an interactive concert where the audience will direct the music journey that will be weaved by Electrojazziness.

John Reischmann and The Jaybirds

Like the powerful mandolinist and composer at its helm, John Reischman and the Jaybirds fashion a stylish take on bluegrass that seamlessly blends original songs and instrumentals with Appalachian old-time music for a truly unique band sound. Now in their 20th year, with seven acclaimed albums and two Juno nominations, the Jaybirds are simultaneously innovative and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned and 21st-century contemporary.

Bluegrass Unlimited calls John Reischman “one of the world’s undisputed masters” of the mandolin, famed for outstanding tone and taste. Many of his dozens of original instrumentals have become popular favourites for sessions and covers, such as the jam standard Saltspring. He has three critically-acclaimed solo instrumental albums and has recorded on many other projects, including the Grammy-winning True Life Blues: The Songs of Bill Monroe. John also plays Latin-based jazz and choro music with highly regarded finger-style acoustic guitarist/composer John Miller; the duo has released three superb albums.

The Langham is proud to host this incredibly talented group of musicians for their live show at the Theatre on April 5th. Don’t miss it!
