From singing to packed audiences in nightclubs across the country as a pop artist to seducing patrons at concert halls and theatres with her rich interpretations of jazz and blues standards, Johnson brings an emotional depth to songs that few singers ever attain. "She is a proud Canadian who looks for original songs, vehicles for, adult emotions .. .it's the timbre of her voice that elevates them," says the Evening Standard of London (England), while the Toronto Star writes, "Flashes of Dinah Washington, Janis Joplin, and Billie Holiday colour the naturally warm textures of her voice. She's full of drama, wit, and heartache." Molly's latest release Messin 'Around (Anthem/Universal) builds on the • • strength of her first two CDs and sees her poised on the brink of widespread crossover success. The music is highly engaging, as Johnson skillfully integrates her well-honed melodic skills, artful Tin Pan Alley-style lyrics, jazz phrasing, and overall pop sensibility. What's most impressive is the breadth of influences that run through the album's twelve tunes-hints ofbossa nova, French chanson, pop, funk, jazz, and tender ballads - all rendered with characteristic aplomb. After years of developing her art, Molly Johnson is simply one of the finest jazz/pop singers around. With Lisa MacDougall piano/electric piano/vocals, Mike Downes bass, Mark McLean drums.

PHOTOS BY CHRIS CAMERON The 22nd annual TD Canada Trust Vancouver International Jazz Festival (June 22 - July 1) has come and gone, but the great memories will linger for some time to come. The musicians played their hearts out, and there were many outstanding performances over the 10-day festival, including some highly engaging workshops at Tom Lee Music Hall and the Roundhouse Community Centre. Once again, over 500,000 people enjoyed concerts at indoor and outdoor venues across the city. MOTHERMOTHER =-= I I =-= I I I I I THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11AT8PM THE IRONWO 6 We want to take this opportunity to thank all the musicians, sponsors, and staff for making the festival such a great community celebration. Particular thanks go to our stellar volunteers (900 strong), who bring their skills, passion, and commitment to our event every year. We couldn't do it without you! Please visit our website at coastaljazz.ca for a complete list of festival volunteers. Hipness is not a state of mind, It's a fact of life!-Cannonball Adderley Slammin' The InfiniteSteve Swell trombone, Sabir Mateen reeds, Matt Heyner bass, and Klaus Kugel drums-is one of the most exciting working groups in jazz today. A New York-based quartet with three acclaimed CDs, their music sounds like a 21stcentury extension of the late '60s work of Roswell Rudd and Grachan Moncur III (New Africa). The All Music Guide describes it as "exuberant, celebratory, and sophisticated- free and at times breathtaking, without sacrificing melody or charm." Steve Swell, who has worked with a diversity of jazzersfrom Lionel Hampton and Buddy Rich to Tim Berne and William Parkerleads the group. Of this awesome instrumentalist, Jazz Now writes, "Swell's powerful trombone zooms in and out of the music like a plane diving at a target. Players like him are to be thanked for the revival of interest in the instrument." 7 Jazz is there and gone. It happens. You have to be present for it. That simple. -Keith Jarrett TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23AT8PM DAVID OCCHIPINTI QUARTET PHOTOBYNAOIAMOLINARI WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17AT8PM Toronto-born guitarist David Occhipinti has released four acclaimed CDs featuring his original compositions: David Occhipinti (1997), Syzygy (1999), Intersection (2003), and Forty Revolutions (2007). He has also issued two recordings (Duologue, Duologue Vol. 2) with saxophonist Mike Murley. A former student of guitar great Jim Hall,this velvet-toned electric guitarist has made an impact on the national jazz scene with his appealing combination of lyricism and cutting-edge sensibility. Occhipinti is also a gifted composer. Last year he wrote Four Pieces for String Quartet, which was performed by the Madawaska String Quartet, and Purple Sky, which was performed by the Arraymusic Ensemble. Occhipinti's all-star quartet features renowned Toronto-based musicians Kevin Turcotte trumpet, Andrew Downing bass, Terry Clarke drums.

He's also the working drummer for the wildly popular singer Madeleine Peyroux. Throw in his work with Charlie Hunter and T. J. Kirk as well as collaborations with Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Jackie Terrasson, Paul Plimley, Michael Franti, and others, and you've got a musician who likes to mix it up. On Believe (Cyrptogramophone), Amendola's band moves from hard-hitting grooves to lush ballads and from original material to covers by Jirni Hendrix, Fela Kuti, and Nick Drake. :::::; -< en c-, FESTIVAL! featuring: mare atkinson trio WOW! big band • scolt robertson trio sue leonard • october trio • jazz pve gabriel mark hasselbach • doc pngers ross taggart trio • jennifer scott ~.. ...and muc~ morel I ... ....

Improvised and creative new musics have been on the upswing in recent years, but listeners, critics, and scholars have said little, so far, about the relationships of the various forms and practices of improvisation to gender and sexuality. Compositions and performances in recent years by such prominent artists as Marilyn Lerner, Fred Hersch, Patricia Barber, Irene Schweizer, Maggie Nicols, Gary Burton, Pauline Oliveros, Lori Freedman, Steve Lacy and Irene Aebi, Miya Masaoka, Evan Parker, Peter Brotzmann, and many others have placed the cultural politics of gender directly at issue, while many recorded works from the history of improvised music and jazz (from Valaida Snow to Cecil Taylor, from Billy Strayhorn to Andy Bey) provoke a reconsideration of the music's relationship to sexuality and identity. A variety of papers, panel discussions, and artist talks will be presented. Speakers include Sherrie Tucker, Matana Roberts, and Marilyn Lerner.
