We have a "Stellar" treat for you this month at Spirited Jazz!
Stella White is an 18-year-old DownBeat Award-winning vocalist and jazz/soul/R&B performer currently pursuing her Bachelor of Jazz Performance at McGill University's Schulich School of Music, where she studies under legends Camille Thurman, Renee Lee, and Ira Coleman. A vibrant presence in both the Victoria and Montreal music scenes, she has led her own band at Hermann's Jazz Club, the Upstairs Jazz Club, and the Victoria International Jazz Festival, bringing soulful authenticity and a gift for connection to every performance.
Stella joins us this month with pianist Thomas Andersen, bassist Matisse Gubby-Hurtig, and drummer Sam Bose — a quartet of young McGill musicians making serious waves on stages across Canada.
Time: Sunday, May 24, 7:15 pm
Place: UUCV Sanctuary, 5575 West Saanich Rd, Victoria, BC
Be sure to join us for this uplifting, fun, and vibrant evening as your host, co-minister and Reverend of Jazz, Shana Lynngood, explores the historic roots of jazz interspersed with a note of spirituality.
