Jazz Violinist Cameron Wilson and his BBC Trio - featuring Bill Coon, guitar and Brent Gubbels, bass

The amazing violinist Cameron Wilson will perform on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 15 at 3 pm at Kay Meek Arts Centre's McEwen Theatre as a part of Kay Meek's Jazz Violin Concert series, curated by noted jazz violinist and historian, Kit Eakle as part of his Jaz'N'theViolin Concerts. Wilson, perhaps best known as the long-time violinist with the 'Gypsy Jazz' ensemble 'VanDjango,' is also a fine composer and arranger. Bill Coon, one of Canada's finest jazz guitarists, will join Wilson. Wilson and Coon have collaborated often with wonderful results, most notably in a recent Double Quartet project featuring a jazz quartet and string quartet led by Wilson playing original music by Mr. Coon. Cameron and Bill promise a fabulous evening of jazz standards augmented by a number of their original compositions.
