MIMOSA

Sat, Oct 12

This bilingual (French/English) Vancouver quintet draws on Jazz, Brazilian Sambas and French chansons to concoct its own unique sound: gorgeous melodies, quirky lyrics, incredible groove and sky-high improvisations. The Band has just released their 4th album, “Bien ensemble” on Cellar Music. They have spent the spring and summer playing numerous festivals, including Jazz at the Bolt, the Townsite Jazz Festival, the Gibsons Jazz Festival, the Festival d’éte, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Harmony Arts, as well as several music series. The band is made up of Rebecca Shoichet, vocals, Anna Lumiere (piano and accordion), Karen Graves (sax, flute and vocals), Conrad Good (bass) and Bernie Arai (drums). Although every member of Mimosa is also active on the Canadian music scene in many other groups, the band is celebrating its 25th year anniversary in 2024 and has developed a unique performance that will take you on an unforgettable journey into time and sound.
