Led by trombonist Bob Rogers, the Bob Rogers Band performs primarily original compositions by Bob, as well as tunes by Trombone Shorty, Maceo Parker and original takes of some favourite jazz standards. While they are most at home playing modern funk influenced jazz, the evening will feature a wide range of styles.

Originally from Vancouver, Bob now calls Vernon home. He has played for many years as a member of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, and has also played with and/or recorded for artists and groups including Natalie Cole, Aerosmith, The Temptations, the Bobby Hales Big Band, Fred Stride’s West Coast Jazz Orchestra, Hugh Fraser’s VEJI big band, the Victoria Symphony, Vancouver Opera and numerous small jazz and chamber groups. After retiring from teaching in Revelstoke in 2021 Bob has been an active member of the Okanagan musical community and and currently performs regularly in the Major Mambo latin quintet, the Slide Rule trombone quartet, the Gary Cable Project.

In addition to Bob on trombone and vocals, the Bob Rogers band also features Chris Petterson, sax, Jordan Dick, guitar, Colin Spence, keyboards, Shannon Sternloff, bass and Trevor Wallach, drums.

Glibbery, a professional pianist, composer, and music educator, has been a part of the Okanagan Valley music scene for 25 years. His sound encompasses many influences: Lyle Mayes (Pat Metheny Group), Oscar Peterson, Bruce Hornsby, Keith Jarrett, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie. Glibbery’s music always has a very lyrical melody with a solid harmonic and rhythmic foundation and contains some twists and turns along the way.

“The Vernon Jazz Club is one of my favourite places to play. It feels like a jazz club from the 40’s with the great listening crowds and the vibe of a really cool room,” reveals Glibbery. “Intimate venues are the best play at because you are very interactive with your audience. They feel you and you feel them. This circle of energy usually catapults the performance into something really magical where almost anything can happen.”

Glibbery’s recording projects have included three all-original albums as well as working with Juno-award winning guitarist Oscar Lopez on his most recent album Apasionado, which was recorded at Glibbery’s home studio with Glibbery helping to both arrange and produce it.

Joining Justin on stage will be a stellar line-up of some of the valley’s finest. Stefan Bienz on bass, Michael Treadway on drums, Michael Perkins on trumpet, Yanti on vocals, and Stan Sabourin on sax.
