The Hugh Fraser Quintet: "Red and Blue"

9:03pm - 12:29am

The late Hugh Fraser was one of the most prominent Canadian musicians who was recognized throughout the world. Hugh was a teacher, composer, bandleader, a master trombonist and pianist. He led two bands and made his mark. One was V.E.J.I. (Vancouver Ensemble of Jazz Improvisation) and the other was his fabulous Quintet. It is the Quintet we hear tonight on The Jazz Feature. All of the musicians live and work in Metro Vancouver. Hugh of course will be heard on piano and trombone. Campbell Ryga is heard on alto and soprano saxophones, The late and wonderful Ross Taggart is heard on tenor saxophone and piano. Ken Lister is on bass and he is replaced on some of the latter tunes by Rick Kilburn. On drums is the dynamic Blaine Wikjord. All of the compositions are by Hugh Fraser. Even though he is gone, Hugh's great legacy remains. Enjoy this amazing music tonight on The Jazz Show.
