Jennifer Kim on the New Generation Big Band
The band played six tunes, one of which is an original by Julian Borkowski.
I first heard Jennifer Kim play upright bass in the Vancouver jazz community three years ago, in a series called Strong Women Strong Music, at Frankie's. Last week she directed a large ensemble called the New Generation Big Band.
The gig was at Jazz Evensong – the weekly series at Brentwood Presbyterian Church – on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022.
You can find a recording of it on YouTube here.
