TRUMPET MASTER Chris Botti and the band BADBADNOTGOOD will headline the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Coastal Jazz & Blues Society announceed today.
Both shows take place at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, Botti on June 28, and BADBADNOTGOOD on June 29.

Botti has become the largest-selling American instrumental artist, with four number-one jazz albums to his name. Most recently, his latest album, Impressions, won a GRAMMY for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Pianist Michael Kaeshammer is special guest for the show.
Toronto’s BADBADNOTGOOD, meanwhile, spans '70s soul-jazz, alternative hip-hop, and experimental electronica; Mary Ancheta Quartet appears as special guest.
The jazz fest has already announced that its 38th annual festival will take place this summer from June 23 to July 2, at a reduced, more sustainable size, offering a balance of free and ticketed performances.
