Jazz Nights at Roedde House: The James Danderfer Trio

Join us for an evening of jazz in our Victorian parlour room with the James Danderfer Trio: James Danderfer, Chris Gestrin, and Joe Poole.

At times sultry, at times jubilant, but always classy, James Danderfer's swinging trio transports the listener back in time to the small 1930s cabarets of New Orleans and Chicago. Reminiscent of the great Benny Goodman and Jelly Roll Morton trios, this ensemble performs classic New Orleans repertoire as well as original music inspired by the genre.
Composer/performer James Danderfer has been nominated "best jazz clarinetist" two times in the National Jazz Awards and has performed and recorded with some of the finest jazz musicians in Canada. With educational credits including Western Michigan University (B.Mus.) and McGill University (M.Mus, Jazz Composition), his three most recent recordings on his own record label (Reigning Parade) are a testament to his eclectic interests in jazz. From the sultry 1930s-style trio album Swingin' at the Patricia (featuring James' Jelly Roll Suite commissioned by CBC Radio) and the powerful, 11-piece New Orleans brass band-inspired outing The Hummingbird Brigade to his forthcoming electro acoustic album City of Angles, James' original music is as exciting and varied as it is heartfelt.
