After their SOLD OUT show last year in JazzClub at Chateau Lacombe we are excited to welcome the retun of The High Society Jazz Band featuring Mark De Jong with their Tribute to Sidney Bechet Saturday June 27 at 2PM.

Expect an afternoon that captures both the spirit of New Orleans and the sophistication of early jazz innovation: music that is at once historical and vibrantly alive. 

It will be a powerful tribute to one of the true architects of jazz; a musician whose sound helped define the very language of early jazz. Long before the swing era took hold, Sidney Bechet’s bold, expressive voice on soprano saxophone cut through ensembles with an intensity and individuality that still feels modern today. 

This special concert features acclaimed saxophonist Mark DeJong, whose depth of experience and stylistic versatility make him the ideal artist to bring Bechet’s music to life. Mark’s collaborations span an extraordinary range of artists, from Ray Charles and Kenny Wheeler to the Shuffle Demons, and his work as a composer has been featured on CBC Radio.
