Artist Bios
Alan Matheson is a Vancouver-based pianist, trumpeter, composer and arranger. He teaches at the University of British Columbia School of Music where he is an instructor in jazz piano and trumpet and at the Vancouver Symphony School of Music where he lectures in jazz history and teaches jazz piano and trumpet. Alan has also taught for over thirty years at the Vancouver Community College School of Music (trumpet, jazz history, jazz piano and jazz ensembles). Alan also leads his own big band, nonet, septet and trio and has written arrangements for jazz legends Clark Terry and Bud Shank. As well, Alan has conducted big band tributes to Duke Ellington, Paul Whiteman and Louis Armstrong.
Wynston Minckler has quickly emerged as one of the foremost bassists in the Vancouver and Canadian music scene. His devotion to music began when he was teenager after being exposed to the sounds of 50s and 60s jazz, the writings of George Orwell, Phillip K. Dick, and Jack Kerouac, and Eastern Philosopy. He is a musical chameleon, performing in a diverse and eclectic blend of projects ranging from Jazz, songwriter, rock, rnb, open improv, and world music. He has performed across Canada at festivals including the TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, The North Country Fair, The Kispiox Music Festival, Artswells, and Buscadero Days in Pusiano, Italy. Wynston has had the opportunity to study with musicans such as Jodi Proznick, Andre Lechance, Darren Radtke, Laurence Mollerup, and David Brown and is very thankful to have spent time studying music at Capilano University.
