https://hermannsjazz.com/donate&stream
Known for their lyricism and beautiful harmony, Cole Porter's compositions have been favourites of jazz musicians for nearly a century. From Billie Holliday to Bill Evans, Art Tatum to Art Farmer, John Coltrane to Jon Abercrombie, (and countless others); Cole Porter's music provides the perfect jumping-off point for musical exploration and dialogue.
Brent Jarvis is a Canadian jazz pianist and composer whose work follows in a tradition of lyrical, dynamic, and rhythmically complex piano players; his music has been described as: “captivating... a collaboration between the sensual and the intellectual... music that sparks the senses and transcends genres” (Laura Fernandez - JAZZ.FM91 Toronto), and "romantic but never cloying” (Katie Malloch - CBC Jazz Beat).
Brent studied music at the University of Toronto (BMUS JAZZ Performance) and musicology at the University of Victoria (MA Musicology), and is now a professor in the Music Department at Vancouver Island University and was Chair of the department from 2022 to 2024.
