Jazz in Gibsons this weekend… are you ready?

Here we go… Festival Season is really kicking into high gear on the Sunshine Coast, and this weekend is the 17th Annual Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival. Wow, it’s a teenager now.

Plan for a wonderful 2 days on the Sunshine Coast taking in a comprehensive schedule of events throughout Gibsons Landing and a few upper Gibsons hot spots plus the signature event at the iconic Roberts Creek Hall Saturday Night (June 9).

2012 Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival highlights include:

• Martini Madness Friday Night
• Rakish Angles
• Martella/Matheson Quartet
• Gord Grdina Trio
• Tunnel Six
• Deana Knight & the Hot Club of Mars
• Shuffle Demons – ticketed event Roberts Creek Hall Sat night
• Jazz Group of Seven
• Ali Milner
• Creek Big Band
• Celso Machado
• Anagram Quartet
• Jazz Vespers at St. Bartholomew’s Church with Steve Giltrow & Boyd Norman

Jazz Workshop

The workshop for 2012 is a Jazz History Clinic with Alan Matheson (check out that curriculum vitae!) focusing on the history of the jazz trumpet, and at only $15 is a steal of an event.
