After last week's memorable NMA big band concert, jazz shifts to one of the finest local jazz groups when the Sympatico returns.
 Since last year's performance for the Georgia Straight Jazz Society, Sympatico has gone on to play to great acclaim at the Nanaimo Jazz Festival, Simms Park and most recently at the Filberg Festival.
Sympatico is led by Don MacKay on 5 string bass and Michael Eddy on keyboards with Rachel Cooper on saxes, clarinet and EWI, Jay Havelaar on trumpet and flugelhorn, Rick Husband on guitar and Aaron Amar on drums.
These well-known Vancouver Island musicians play an exciting Latin infused program which recognizes the incredible talent of composers such as Chick Corea, Russel Ferrante and Pat Metheny. Expect to hear some classic Chick Corea including Spain, Armando's Rhumba and Windows and Rick Husband's interpretation of Pat Metheny's Better Days Ahead, and It's Just Talk.
Rachel and Jay will also demonstrate their uncanny ability to play so well together with a bit of Flugelhorn and Electric Wind Instrument (EWI) in renditions of an original tune called Galleon, and Chick Corea's Crystal Silence.
With the addition of Drummer extraordinaire Aaron Amar and some percussion from Jay and Rachel, Sympatico is ready to energize and delight you with their upcoming 2-set program at 7:30 pm.
Sympatico is an energetic infusion of talent, conceived to be unique and enjoyed by all. If you are new to the Valley and love jazz music (or just getting into it) this will be a great night to come down and discover the safe and social atmosphere at The Av, and why it is that Comox Valley has created the most enviable jazz scene in BC.
It is all rush seating, there are no reservations.
