Join Jazz on the Rocks for music in the afternoon at the HBI pub, playing your favourite jazz standards on a Sunday. No cover.
The Sound of Smooth from Quadra Island
Jazz on the Rocks from Quadra Island promises sweet sounds of classic jazz standards enhanced by the captivating and intimate voice of Marnie Younger bringing those lovely and memorable songs from the jazz era to life. Dave Blinzinger’s virtuosic improvisations and compelling melodies on tenor saxophone highlight the thematic and dynamic overtones of the music.
Hal Douglas on guitar lays down the groove that allows for creativity and spontaneity. Catalyzing the musical magic are Nick McGregor’s changing rhythms in a plethora of time feels and styles. Jazz on the Rocks will serenade and delight your senses.
Come to one of our shows (see below for what we are concocting) or book us for a private event…weddings, anniversaries, parties, corporate…you set the stage, we'll bring the swing!
