| Granville Island Jazz |
June 26, 8:30pm | Ocean Artworks | $15 at the door
2025 JUNO nominees for Jazz Album of the Year (Group), creative Indo-Jazz fusion band Raagaverse pays homage to two historical and culturally-significant genres: classical Hindustani music and jazz. Led by vocalist Shruti Ramani, with Jodi Proznick bass, Noah Franche-Nolan piano, and Nicholas Bracewell drums, Raagaverse retains the authenticity of both traditions, melding them into a cohesive sound filled with immense respect, depth, and beauty. For this special performance, they’ll collaborate with award-winning musician Cassius Khan. Khan earned the title Ustad for his contributions to Indian music, and is renowned for his simultaneous mastery of tabla playing and classical Ghazal and Thumri singing. Presented in association with Coastal Jazz, with support from the Dr. Hari Sharma Foundation.
