Vancouver Folk Music Festival

July 14 to 16, 2023

San Pedro Cinco | BC

Five of Vancouver’s most tasteful and forward-thinking jazz stalwarts have pooled their considerable resources to offer a musical treat to the city. After some regular visits to Costa Rica, group members were inspired to put their own, ‘pure vida’ vibe cumbia, calypso, and other Caribbean and Latin music styles. They may also play some covers by jazz musicians such as Jim Hall and Wes Montgomery, to name a few. Their repertoire is rounded out by original compositions by trumpeter JP Carter, Tony Wilson (guitar), and Russel Sholberg (bass). The Cinco also sports a couple of rhythm wizards in Robin Layne (vibes/percussion) and Liam MacDonald (drums/percussion)

With superb musicianship and a heavy-hitting rhythm section, this is music made for both good listening, and for dancing on the grass on a warm summer day!
