The Vancouver Jazz Scene

Cradled between mountains and ocean, Vancouver’s jazz scene flows with creativity, openness, and West Coast cool. This collection showcases the city’s rich musical tapestryβ€”from smoky clubs in Gastown to avant-garde loft sessions and seaside festivals. Home to boundary-pushing improvisers, lyrical composers, and deep-pocket rhythm sections, The Vancouver Jazz Scene blends tradition with experimentation, reflecting the diverse spirit of the city itself. A soundtrack of rain, rhythm, and reinvention.
