ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Described by CBC Music as “a fantastic and easy voice”, vocalist Will Clements presents the music of his 2023 album, COMPASS. The album explores the themes of love through a queer lens; having resided in Montreal, Paraguay, and Vancouver, Clements brings influences from these cities into a new collection of compositions and arrangements, ranging from traditional swing music to South American-inspired sounds.
Bassist William Chernoff plays the opening set with his jazz trio, having released his debut album, Aim to Stay (“refreshingly accessible music” – All About Jazz), in 2020 and his sophomore album Maybe Eventually (“swing and melodicism [are] at Chernoff’s artistic core” – Chris Wong) in 2022.
Both Clements and Chernoff grew up in New Westminster and were featured at the 2023 Vancouver International Jazz Festival.
