All events start at 9:00PM (unless stated otherwise)
* Jazz Nights are now non-smoking evenings *

Saturday,April 30 - Kate Hammett-Vaughn
The Bassment is thrilled to present a truly remarkable jazz vocalist. Nominated for Jazz Vocalist of the Year at the 2005 Junos, Kate Hammett-Vaughan is known as one of Canada's most individual and creative jazz vocalists. Hammett-Vaughan's highly personal and expressive vocal style incorporates the breadth of her musical interests, from straight-ahead soulful ballads to hard-swinging grooves and improvisational adventures. Her approach is fresh and invigorating, paying tribute to the jazz tradition while interacting and exploring, always seeking to express herself in the moment. Her fantastic quintet (which includes bassist Andr Lachance, pianist Chris Gestrin, saxophonist Jim Pinchin, and drummer Tom Foster) is the perfect setting for Kate's vocals, seamlessly moving from groove to groove and taking risks while challenging and supporting her at every turn. Jazz lovers, do not miss this show!!!
