Daniel Hersog Jazz Orchestra

Vancouver trumpeter and composer Daniel Hersog leads an adventurous orchestra comprised of the cream of the Vancouver jazz community. This show features guest vocalist Darynn Dean, who studied with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter and brings a commanding, soulful presence. Together, Hersog, whose writing is “directly in the lineage of great jazz composers like Gil Evans,” per Jazz Times, and L.A.-based Dean deliver a thrilling big-band experience, blending sophisticated orchestral arrangements with expressive, powerful vocals. Hersog’s 18-member orchestra features Brad Turner, Steve Kaldestad, Bruno Hubert, James Danderfer and Bernie Arai.

Presented by North Shore Jazz and Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
