Join a Gallery Facilitator-led tour of the exhibition, then head to our Jazz Café for an original solo performance by the jazz great P.J. Perry. There will be a cash bar available.
P.J. Perry has been recognized by critics, colleagues and listeners as being one of North America’s premier saxophonists. P.J. has shared the stage with countless jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Shaw, Michel LeGrand, Pepper Adams, Kenny Wheeler, Tom Harrell, and The Boss Brass among others. In 2007 P.J. was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from the University of Alberta. In autumn 1999, Justin Time Records released a Juno nominated recording of P.J. and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Winner of a 1993 Juno Award for Best Jazz Recording for his album My Ideal, P.J. has received Jazz Report magazine's Critic's Choice Award for Best Alto Sax, a record seven years, from 1993 to 1999. P.J. has recently been performing his own show The Joy of Sax with orchestras across the country.
