Ariel Pocock
North Carolina-based pianist/singer/composer Ariel Pocock is only 24, but she has already recorded two lavishly praised CDs on the Justin Time label: Touchstone and Living in Twilight. Blessed with unerring pitch and a great sense of swing, Pocock is very much a jazz performer, albeit one with eclectic musical interests influenced by Randy Newman and Tom Waits as much as Thelonious Monk, Keith Jarrett, and Chick Corea. Equally convincing with her vocals and her piano playing, the fluent and flexible Pocock has a dazzling future. She performs with John Lee bass and Norbert Botos drums.
“There’s no doubt we’ll be hearing more great things from this young talent in the future.” – ALLABOUTJAZZMavis Staples
Mavis Staples is living, breathing history. She is an alchemist of American music, having continuously crossed genre lines like no musician since Ray Charles. Weaving herself into the very fabric of gospel, soul, folk, pop, R&B, blues, rock, and hip hop over the last 60 years, this iconic singer has seen and sung through so many changes, always rising up to meet every road.
Now in her seventh decade, with the release of her new album Livin’ on a High Note (ANTI-), she is only gaining momentum. Produced by M. Ward with songs by Neko Case, Justin Vernon, Nick Cave, Ben Harper, Tune-Yards, Aloe Blacc and others, the album serves as a summation and furtherance of her illustrious career. Refusing to fade away, she continues to tour incessantly, remaining as vital, engaged, and true as always. There is no persona; she is, simply and untouchably, Mavis—and Livin’ on a High Note is the symphony of her life.MavisStaples062317001FestivalLive MusicRBGospelSoulFunkBluesRoyal TheatreVancouver Islandmusic photographyMavis StaplesStaples Singers
