I have been working very hard over the last few months cooking up all kinds of musical projects. Now is the chance to hear some of them at the gigs listed below.
Please come out and hear some of the music and bear witness to the awesome creativity and consummate skill of the fine musicians with whom I am privileged to work!
October 24 Curriculum Occulta at Presentation House Studio
8pm, $10 at the door. 333 Chesterfield, North Vancouver. Free tea and cookies.
An improvising orchestra is taking shape. This is a project I have been dreaming about for some time. I have selected some of my incredibly talented students from the past few years of teaching at Capilano and will be throwing them in at the deep end with some of my long-time musical collaborators. The newest generation of young
October 25 Jared Burrows Sextet at Capilano U
Fir building, room 113, 11:45am-1pm. Free admission.
This is my newest 'small' band with Steve Kaldestad (tenor sax), Chris Davis (trumpet), Dennis Esson (trombone), Brent Gubbels (bass), and Dave Robbins (drums). We'll do a concert of new compositions and arrangements written especially for this group. If our smokin' premiere gig last month was any indication, it should be a great show!
October 26 Ensemble 306 plays the music of Charles Ives
Capilano U, Fir building, room 113, 11:30m-1pm. Free admission.
I direct a large ensemble at Capilano U (5 voices, cello, violin, piano, keyboards, percussion, drums, guitar and bass!) and we are presenting a unique concert of arrangements and re-compositions of selections from Charles Ives' 114 Songs. Ives is one of my musical heroes and it has been a real thrill and privilege to work on this music with the students. They have done a beautiful job collaborating with me on the arrangements. Expect a wild amalgam of jazz, classical, musical meditation, chaos, Quaker poety, heavy metal etc etc. In short, we will attempt to channel the spirit of Ives and conjure the very music of the spheres.
November 7 Jared Burrows Sextet at the Cellar
Come out and hear my new band at Canada's premiere jazz club.

November 14 Jared Burrows Quartet at Presentation House Studio
8pm, $10 at the door. 333 Chesterfield, North Vancouver. Free tea and cookies.
The quartet has been one of my most important creative outlets for several years now. We will present my original music and some tunes by band members. Our music is influenced by Wheeler, Shorter and Coltrane and we work hard to play with intense rhythmic interactivity and a sense of exploration and wildness! Lorne Kellett (piano), Al Johnston (bass), Stan Taylor (drums)
