The Cory Weeds Quintet is set to play a concert at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on October 29 at 7:30 pm to 9 pm.

Tenor saxophonist Cory Weeds is a local artist who founded Vancouver’s original underground jazz club, The Cellar. Up until it closed its doors in 2014, the venue hosted talents among the likes of George Coleman, Jeff Hamilton, Louis Hayes, David “Fathead” Newman, and Lonnie Smith.

For the upcoming performance, Weeds leads an all-star quintet featuring pianist Miles Black, bassist Conrad Good, drummer Jesse Cahill, and special guest trumpet player Jerry Weldon.

Weldon, a New York born-and-raised musician, became a charter member and featured soloist in Harry Connick Jr.’s newly formed big band in 1990. He was seen daily on Connick’s daytime television program HARRY throughout its two-year run.

Tickets to the concert, along with more information, can be found here.
