We’re excited to announce that jazz singer Diana Panton, winner of the 2015 Juno Award Vocal Jazz Album of the Year, will be performing at the Club on Friday, February 26th, along with Order of Canada bassist / pianist Don Thompson and guitarist Reg Schwager. Here’s a sample of what the critics are saying:

Diana Panton has quietly become one of the brightest lights on the jazz scene today. Her work has been consistently praised by listeners and music critics alike for her ethereal vocals, exceptional song selection and emotional intensity. “Her diaphanous vocal sound never insists and her high speed vibrato is like the beat of a hummingbird’s heart – natural, untainted and pure.” (Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, Wholenote Magazine)

If the expression “the art of interpretation” has ever applied, then it does here. Expressiveness, paired with a voice that is trained in top notch jazz techniques, gives us a vocalist that ranks among the greatest young chanteuses of our time. (Volker Doberstein, tonart magazine, Germany)

I hope you are able to join us. A delicious Mediterranean supper buffet will be offered throughout the evening, starting from 7pm. The hour-long performance will begin at 8 pm. There is limited ‘nightclub’ table seating for this event, so please reserve your seats soon. Tickets are $85 per person for the concert and dinner which includes service but not HST.
