Jon May’s Standard Ska Quintet
Friday, April 10th
Jon got his start at a local jam, rapidly working his way through the ranks to become one of Western Canada’s top musicians. As a talented composer, teacher, recording artist and player, Jon brings a thoughtfulness to the Canadian music scene, where he bridges a gap between many genres.
His new project Jon May’s Standard Ska Quintet is a unique way of interpreting improvisatory jazz standards with more of a laid-back island feel. Growing up in the early 90’s Jon was exposed not only to Jazz and Popular music, but was also influenced by many local New England groups influencing his sound. This group is an autobiographical look back on some of the grooves and music that made him the musician he is today.
