Shimmy! Steve Kaldestad Quintet at the Jazz Cellar, Vancouver

Steve Kaldestad Quintet Live @ The Cellar Restaurant / Jazz Club in Vancouver on May 31st, 2009 featuring Kevin Dean - trumpet, Steve Kaldestad - tenor sax, Andre White - piano, Jodi Proznick - bass and Jesse Cahill -drums

In 10 years The Cellar Restaurant and Jazz Club has established itself as not only the top jazz venue in Vancouver, but as one of the top jazz clubs in the world. In an ambitious undertaking, club owner Cory Weeds bought the establishment in the summer of 2000 and quickly turned it into the premier jazz venue in Vancouver. The focus of the club was to promote Vancouver and Canadian jazz musicians. The room has seen visits by every major player from the Vancouver Scene and across Canada. In addition Weeds has brought in many of the major names on the international scene to the club either with their own band or more often then not, to join forces with the best that the Vancouver jazz community has to offer. Some of these international musicians to perform include David 'Fathead' Newman, Tom Harrell, Charles MacPherson, Benny Golson, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Ed Thigpen, Kenny Garrett, Les McCann, Scott Hamilton, Joey Defrancesco, George Coleman and Eric Alexander. The Cellar Restaurant / Jazz Club is often compared to the legendary New York nightspot, The Village Vanguard for its vibe and acoustics.

You guys sound great..

Beautiful solo Steve. Andre is doing a pretty serious solo on piano ... And Kevin of course, always tasteful and swinging.

Thanks

@f0xo9 I think he just had a piece cut out to stop a crack in the cymbal from creeping any further...
