TD Halifax Jazz Festival presents Jazz Appreciation Month JAZZ LABS: Listening Lounge #2, A Historic Glimpse of Women & The Guitar, with Sam Wilson
April 25, 2024 | 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Stillwell Taproom & Hi-Fi (3670 Kempt Road, Halifax)
After the success of our first session, HJF is returning to Stillwell Taproom & Hi-Fi for another listening session, with special guest Sam Wilson. She will explore a historic snapshot of women guitarists, unearthing some of the “disparity between the history we’re told and the history that exists” - She Shreds Magazine. From Elizabeth Cotten to Emily Remler, we’ll be exploring their recordings on the amazing stereo system at Stillwell!
Sam Wilson is a Canadian guitarist whose practice as a performer-composer focuses on creating instrumental music for improvisers. She blends her early love of fingerstyle guitar with her love of jazz into her guitar playing. Her albums Into a Heart Pt. II and New Doors (Jackson\Wilson Duo) both won Music Nova Scotia’s Jazz Recording of the year in 2022 and 2023. In 2021, Sam won the Paul Cram Creation award and composed “Recover-we”, her first piece for orchestra which was performed by Symphony Nova Scotia at the 2023 Open Waters Festival. Sam's current artistic muse is wild spaces and site specific places, you can hear this on her latest release “Wintertides”; a trio project featuring Vancouver based musicians Jen Yakamovich and Geordie Hart.
Free to attend, 19+, minors must be accompanied by a legal guardian.
Jazz Labs are possible with the generous support of our funders and sponsors: Canadian Heritage, Nova Scotia, Halifax, Halifax Public Libraries, Long & McQuade Halifax and Stillwell Brewing Co.
