A Vancouver chamber ensemble performs in New West next week as part of the Up Close Recital Society series.
Waxwing is on at Old Crow Coffee, 655 Front St., on Thursday, May 31 starting at 7:30 p.m.
The group is made up of three veterans of the Vancouver music scene: Tony Wilson on guitar, Peggy Lee on cello and John Bentley on saxophone. The three have released two studio recordings that feature their original compositions – A Bowl of Sixty Taxidermists (2015) and Escondido Dreams (2007).
The trio has performed across the country and has been a regular favourite in the Vancouver International Jazz Festival. They’ll also be familiar to CBC radio listeners, having been featured many times on various radio programs.
Tickets for their local performance are $20 in advance (buy at waxwing.brownpapertickets.com) or $25 at the door.
You can find out more about the recital series by following Up Close Recital Society on Facebook.
