Penticton’s Jazz Vespers services happen the third Sunday of every month from September to April at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church, featuring a variety of professional musicians from the Okanagan.
Larry Crawford on woodwinds and Debi Johnson on vocals are the host musicians who through the season invited pianists like Justin Glibbery, Al Crossley and Don Ross; bass players Bob Gronowski and Stefan Bienz; guitar players Tavis Wier and Paul Henbury; drummers Guus Bakkeren and Mike Treadway and other horn players such as Stan Sabourin, Mike Surkan and Chris Manuel.
The April 19 concert will feature Rod Miller, an award-winning accordionist from Kelowna who will join Johnson and Crawford, along with Treadway, Wier and Bienz.
Classic French melodies, tangos and bossa novas will fill the air, giving the feeling of a French Cafe.
Rev. Mike Stuchbury will conduct the service which is Sunday April 19 at 4:30 p.m. At St. Saviour’s Anglican Church in Penticton.
