The Jazz Implication is coming back for another show at the Nexus! This group of rising young musical talents is led by Liam Nadurak (trumpet), and includes Jordan Dick and Dan Smith (guitars), Darrin Herting (bass), and Will Friesen (drums).

For this show, the group is featuring prominent Canadian jazz saxophonist Brent Mah, from Vancouver. Brent is known for his dynamic performances across the local and national modern jazz scenes. He frequently performs in top tier clubs and major events such as the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, leading his own groups or collaborating in notable ensembles such as the Stranger Friends Orchestra and various chamber jazz projects.

The Jazz Implication is known for pushing their interpretations of standards and originals into exciting new ground. A growing sense of adventure and camaraderie between the musicians is allowing for experimentation, blurring the lines of the traditional approach to trading solos. At times it becomes unclear where the soloist starts and the ensemble ends, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

Thanks to the generous donations of Jazz Club patrons, the group recorded some of Liam’s original compositions at Holy Cow Studios, a professional studio in Kamloops. The tracks have now been mastered and are available for you to check out on a variety of platforms here.

The group is inspired by the tradition of jazz but reinterpreted in the modern context. Each member brings their own authentic experience with music to the table to create a unique sound. Expect to hear a mix of some of their favourite traditional jazz standards mixed with original compositions that have never been performed publicly before.

ADMISSION: By donation.
CONCESSION: Coffee, tea and treats are also available by donation.
DOORS: Open at 6:30 pm
