Episode 252:Yardbird Suite, CKUA, and Jazz as a Thriving Art Form

Discovering Jazz

More on the Edmonton Jazz scene, including a call out to CKUA radio. Also more on the thriving Yardbird Suite jazz club, including Marc Vasey’s story of how he discovered and secured their current venue.

Great music too! You’ll hear Rubim de Toledo, J.J. Johnson, Pepper Adams Quartet, Bill Frisell, Doug Organ, Audrey Ochoa, Sheila Jordan, and John Handy. These are all musicians who have played at The Yardbird Suite. And a touch of The Guess Who (who have, as far as I know, never played the Yardbird).
