NOTE: This is a special Wednesday performance, between our regularly scheduled April shows.

We are pleased to announce this special Jazz Club performance, featuring a collaboration between Salmon Arm’s own Liam Nadurak (trumpet) and a close colleague from Winnipeg, Sean Irvine (woodwinds). They will be joined by Dan Smith (bass), Jordan Dick (guitar), and Will Friesen (drums).

Sean has rapidly gained recognition as a top-tier performer, composer, and woodwind expert. Although his primary focus is on the saxophone, Irvine is also recognized as a flautist, clarinetist, and oboist.

Director and Composer of the Sean Irvine 5tet, the ensemble debuted in Spring of 2020. Featuring exclusively original compositions, this project delves into the diverse textures of woodwinds, brass, vocals, and rhythm section instruments, bringing to life the material composed throughout seven years of Irvine's musical journey. Due to release in 2025, Irvine is currently working parallel to the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra for his second album as a leader and composer.

Irvine's versatility and skill in capturing the essence and tone of various woodwind instruments have led to collaborations and performances with the likes of Royal Canoe, David Braid, Derrick Gardner, Kiko Freitas, Jon Gordon, Jimmy Greene, and Scotty Barnhart.
