The late night lobby of the Esplanade has become one of
the most intimate, unique and inspiring venues we’ve come
up with in JazzFest history. The responsive acoustics, the
theatre-in-the-round seating and the beautiful ambiance
created by the Esplanade staff combine to transport listeners
and performers to another world.
This year we are presenting long time JazzFest participant,
drummer Tyler Hornby in trio with another long time JazzFest
performer keyboardist Kristian Alexandrov and bassist
Jeremy Coates.
Former schoolmates, these three have a history to their
collaborations. While they have all gone in many directions,
JazzFest is pleased to bring them back together for what
promises to be an exciting mix of original tunes from various
projects under the leadership of Hornby.
Tyler holds a Masters Degree in Jazz Performance /
Pedagogy from the University of Colorado and is an instructor
at Mount Royal University. He has been nominated for the
Galaxie Rising Star Award as well as the grand jazz award at
the Montreal International Jazz Festival. His 2011 recording,
A Road to Remember was nominated for a Western Canadian
Music Awards prize for Best Jazz Recording of the Year. His
latest CD, Locus was released in March 2013 and features the
Tyler Hornby B3 Trio.
