Ryan Oliver, Mark Crawford Duo
Juno-nominated, Victoria-based saxophonist, Ryan Oliver honed his craft on Canada’s west coast before moving to Amsterdam, Toronto and New York. Since returning to Vancouver Island, he has maintained a busy schedule as one of Canada’s most in-demand saxophonists.
Along with seasoned guitarist Mark Crawford this dynamite duo is at the top of their profession. Their smooth beautiful innovative treatments and stylizations of Swinging Standards, BossaNovas and Ballads provide a blissful evening of imaginings filled with
pure joy.

Streetbeat
Victoria’s premiere authentic New Orleans jazz tribute band “Streetbeat” graces the Spirited Jazz stage for our celebration of All Saints Day. Join in this high energy, fun evening as New Orleans Classics in the styles of Dr. John, Professor Longhair, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and many more get your fingers a-snappin’ and your toes a tappin’ to the sounds of the old south.
You won’t have to wish you’re in Dixie as you join the parade and dress the part if you’re so inclined. But immersing yourself in the music and absorbing the atmosphere will be a must. You’ll be mingling with the Saints as they come marching in.
Join Shana Dance, Jonnie Bridgman, and a collection of Victoria’s finest musicians for Spirited Jazz in the Sanctuary, Mingle with the Saints as they come marching in.
