Jazz Vespers at Christ Church is an informal service that features local, live jazz. June is always our biggest bash of the year, and this time is no different as Brian Barlow’s big band plays Ellington! We will also welcome special guests Tim Elliott (former rector of Christ Church) and Michael Enright (former CBC Radio host of “The Sunday Edition”).
This service has been included in the Toronto Jazz Festival line-up. Our Jazz Vespers include a reflective reading and prayers for the needs of the world. A voluntary collection is taken.
Musicians for this month are:
John Johnson, Colleen Allen, Alex Dean, Emily Steinwall, Alex Trent (saxophones)
Jason Logue, Alexander Brown, Blair Yarranton, Brad Eaton (trumpets)
Paul Tarussov, Kelsley Grant, Doug Gibson (trombones)
Olivia Esther (French horn)
Gord Sheard (piano), Scott Alexander (bass), Brian Barlow (drums)
All are welcome!
