Synopsis "Journeys to the Bandstand: Thirty Jazz Lives in Vancouver"

What I didn't know [when starting to research and write this book]: I would become full-on, hopelessly obsessed with finding out every arcane detail about the artists gathered in these pages, whether they are living or long gone. Those myriad facts are puzzle pieces that-even though some pieces are missing-form portraits of extraordinary people with a hunger for jazz and other creative artforms, a determination to overcome struggles, and a deep joy for creating profound expression. -Chris Wong, from the Preface and Introduction to Journeys to the Bandstand.Journeys to the Bandstand: Thirty Jazz Lives in Vancouver chronicles the creative lives and musical journeys of thirty extraordinary artists who have helped shape the jazz scene in the west coast Canadian city, and further afield. Each chapter focuses on one remarkable artist, or a small group of impactful musicians, mostly based in Vancouver (Al Neil, Dave Quarin, Brad Turner, Cory Weeds, Jodi Proznick, Natasha D'Agostino, and others). The book also highlights some American musicians (Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, Dr. Lonnie Smith, George Coleman, and others) who have made an indelible impression on the city's jazz community. Weaving a first-person perspective-through the author's experiences hearing the musicians perform and documenting oral history from in-depth interviews-with extensive written and audio-visual history gathered from articles, letters, recordings, films, and more, Journeys to the Bandstand is a compelling collection of long-form portraits. The unique life stories of each subject include challenges-addictions, anxiety and self-doubt, racism, abuse, and other hard realities-and triumphs when they succeeded in making expressive and memorable music.Each individual path forms a complex and fascinating passage-the journey to the bandstand.
