    After years of touring together, decorated Canadian artists Elizabeth Shepherd and Michael Occhipinti have teamed up to create ES:MO - a musical duo focused on genreless creativity and exploration. Their album The Weight of Hope received a 2022 Juno nomination for “Vocal Jazz Album of The Year.” With extensive musical backgrounds, international acclaim, and a lengthy list of prestigious awards and nominations, namely, their combined fifteen Juno nominations, both artists have had successful, independent careers before embarking on their new venture. Shepherd, a multi-dimensional vocalist/pianist, has twice been long-listed for the Polaris Prize and has performed at the Hollywood Bowl and Auditorium Parco della Musica. Occhipinti, a versatile, creative guitarist, has performed with jazz legends such as Don Byron and Sam Rivers, as well as Bruce Cockburn, DVSN, and the Barenaked Ladies. Now, they have teamed up to create an album of re-imagined musical works and atmospheric, compelling original music.

    “Anyone trying to tune into the present moment in jazz could do a lot worse than starting with Immanuel Wilkins, an alto saxophonist whose playing is at once dazzlingly solid and perfectly lithe” – New York Times
    Brooklyn-based saxophonist, rising star, and composer Immanuel Wilkins attended the Juilliard School in 2015, where he met trumpeter/composer Ambrose Akinmusire, who mentored Wilkins and helped him navigate the jazz scene. He also met a musician who would change his professional life, Jason Moran, the prominent pianist and composer who took the young saxophonist on tour. In what was one of Wilkins’ biggest gigs to date, he played alto in Moran’s “In My Mind: Monk at Town Hall, 1959,” a series of live performances honoring the great legacy of jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. Wilkins has since worked with a diverse range of artists including Solange Knowles, Gretchen Parlato, Wynton Marsalis, Gerald Clayton, Aaron Parks, and Joel Ross, making a striking appearance on the vibraphonist’s 2019 Blue Note debut KingMaker. Wilkins’ acclaimed debut album Omega was named the #1 Jazz Album of 2020 by The New York Times, followed by his 2022 album, The 7th Hand.

    “[Gould] has soaked up the influences of Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell and Joe Pass, and she wears that collective mainstream, swinging attitude on her sleeve, not only stylistically, but also in her sense of the joy of creation”— All About Jazz

Influenced by Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, and Joe Pass, she has performed internationally with Grammy-nominated vocalist Freddy Cole, trumpeter Etienne Charles, and DownBeat Rising Star trombonist Michael Dease.

    $55.50/$45.50
    https://jazzvictoria.ca/gogo-penguin/
    “GoGo Penguin have spent almost a decade refining and redefining a take on jazz, electronica and modern classical that’s always sounded more sophisticated than stuck-up.” – Loud and Quiet Magazine
    GoGo Penguin are a collective who channel electronic and club culture atmospheres alongside minimalist jazz and rock influences to create music that pulses and flows from the dance floor to meditative inner worlds. They return to TD JazzFest in Victoria for a third time to perform music from their 2020 Blue Note Records release, the self-titled GoGo Penguin, together with new music and favourites from their luminous back catalogue. 2022 also marks the touring debut of the band’s latest member, drummer Jon Scott, who brings his own uniquely propulsive style to the Manchester-based trio’s exhilarating music.  Chris Illingworth piano, Nick Blacka bass
