SUMMARY:Angela Verbrugge & The Ray Gallon Trio
DESCRIPTION:Angela Verbrugge – vocals\nRay Gallon – piano\nJon Maharaj – bass\nMorgan Childs – drums \n \nCOVER: $20 \nGershwin\, Porter\, ’n Me \nJoin us at the Jazz Bistro on Sunday May 31st  for vocal jazz from Vancouver and New York alongside our specialty crafted cocktails and delicious bistro fare. \nWestern Canadian Music Awards ‘Jazz Artist of the Year’ nominee Angela Verbrugge brings Gershwin- and Cole Porter-era standards to life with her signature charm. A finalist in the International Songwriting Competition\, Verbrugge weaves in timeless stories of the heart with her own Canadian jazz compositions and lyrics. \nMaking her Jazz Bistro debut\, the Vancouver Island-based artist is described as “both hip and a hoot” (JazzWeekly)\, and has toured in Japan\, Hong Kong\, S. Korea\, Taiwan\, Türkiye\, the UK\, Germany\, Luxembourg\, France\, Italy\, and coast to coast in Canada — all since 2021! She has released four albums to great reviews from the international jazz press\, topped polls in JazzTimes and All About Jazz\, and is regularly played on leading jazz radio programs. Her recorded songs have been streamed almost a million times across platforms. \nBacked by a stellar piano trio — Grammy-nominated NYC pianist Ray Gallon\, Jon Maharaj (bass)\, and Morgan Childs (drums)—Jazz Bistro guests can expect a warm\, witty\, and uplifting performance featuring beloved classics and new favourites delivered with irresistible musical chemistry. Seating is limited. Book your table now for an unforgettable evening of jazz standards\, original Canadian lyrics\, and heartfelt music. \n\n“No maybes; for Verbrugge\, now is definitely the time\,” – JazzTimes Magazine \n“Listen and be delighted. Her art is her own\, and she offers rare pleasures.” — JazzLives \n“As a lyricist Miss Verbrugge seems to have “learned” from the best: one senses the wit of Dave Frishberg\, the glorious storytelling of Dorothy Fields and Johnny Mercer\, and – all of that and a tinge of pathos that was the hallmark of songs by Cole Porter. However\, make no mistake\, these lyrics are singularly Miss Verbrugge’s. ”— That Canadian Magazine\, Raul da Gama \n“Pianist Ray Gallon may be one of New York City’s best kept secrets. A veteran sideman with a career spanning over four decades\, Gallon was mentored by greats including John Lewis\, and Jaki Byard.” – The New York Jazz Record \n“Ray Gallon possesses a unique rhythmic imagination and a wrought iron vocabulary.” – Bill Charlap \nAngela Verbrugge (vocals) \nVancouver Island vocalist Angela Verbrugge was nominated for Jazz Artist of the Year at the 2024 Western Canadian Music Awards. In 2025\, All About Jazz announced that Verbrugge had topped their Reader Poll for Jazz Vocalist and in 2020 Angela won the JazzTimes’ Readers’ Poll for Best Female Vocalist. She “possesses a winsome\, brightly-burnished\, pliable voice\, ample emotional intelligence\, and conspicuously good taste. Angela’s four albums feature standout arrangements of standards and original songs in the style of the Great American Songbook. The projects received praise in All About Jazz\, JazzTimes\, Jazzwise\, Couleurs France\, Syncopated Times\, Jersey Jazz\, LA Jazz Scene and publications around the world leading to tours to Japan\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong\, China\, S. Korea\, Türkiye\, the UK\, Germany\, France\, Luxembourg and eight provinces — all since 2021. Her music has charted on JazzWeek\, been featured by CBC and NPR\, and she held the number one spot on the Earshot Jazz charts for multiple weeks. Angela’s tracks have been streamed a million times across streaming platforms since her debut in 2019. \nRay Gallon (piano) \nTo listen to pianist Ray Gallon is to take a journey through the great lineage of jazz piano from its inception all the way up to the cutting-edge present. His playing is imbued with the vocabulary\, sensibilities and soul of the very architects of the jazz artform. Born\, raised and living his whole life in Manhattan\, NYC pianist Ray Gallon has been a mainstay on the jazz scene for over thirty-five years. Rooted in bebop and blues\, his expressive\, swingin’ playing melds old and new into a fresh\, original style. As a young player\, Ray was taken under the wing of piano giants John Lewis\, Hank Jones\, and Jaki Byard. He has performed at major jazz festivals and venues around the world with such luminaries as Ron Carter\, Lionel Hampton\, Art Farmer\, Benny Golson\, George Adams\, Les Paul\, and Wycliffe Gordon. Ray has appeared at the White House and the Kennedy Center\, sharing the stage with jazz legends including Dizzy Gillespie\, Milt Jackson\, Sweets Edison\, and Joe Williams. An in-demand accompanist\, he has worked with many vocal greats\, including Jon Hendricks\, Sheila Jordan\, Dakota Staton\, Gloria Lynne\, Jane Monheit and Chaka Khan. Ray’s Cellar Live recordings include such luminaries as Kenny Washington\, Ron Carter\, and Lewis Nash\, and Ahmad Jamal called his recorded work “extraordinary”. \nJon Maharaj (bass) \nJon Maharaj is a JUNO-award winning bassist who has performed and / or recorded with The Tenors\, Emilie-Claire Barlow\, Allison Au\, Amanda Tosoff and many others. He has toured North America extensively with a variety of artists and has performed overseas everywhere from Tokyo to Monte Carlo. Jon was also the bassist in the Canadian company of the multiple award-winning musical Come From Away\, where he got to perform the show for over 1 million people over the course of its record-breaking run. \nMorgan Childs (drums) \nBC-born Morgan Childs has established himself as a first-call drummer for many leading Canadian and international jazz artists. Morgan has four recordings to his name as a leader. Awards to his credit include three consecutive CBC Galaxie Rising Star Awards\, as well as the Grand Prix du Jazz at the Montreal Jazz Festival. Other notable artists Morgan \nhas performed and recorded with include Zach Brock (Snarky Puppy)\, Phil Dwyer\, Kelly Jefferson\, Bernie Senensky\, Eric Alexander\, Ingrid and Christine Jensen\, Ian Hendrickson-Smith(The Roots)\, Kirk MacDonald\, and Pat Labarbera.
