Toronto bassist, composer and bandleader Jesse Dietschi will be bringing his critically acclaimed trio to Salt Spring Island next week as part of their Western Canadian tour celebrating their debut album, Gradient.
Achieving rave reviews from renowned publications like DownBeat and The WholeNote, the Jesse Dietschi Trio’s music places themselves on a sliding scale between modern jazz and contemporary classical music, constantly adjusting their position as they navigate compositions that balance the two styles.
Joined by pianist Ewen Farncombe and drummer Ethan Ardelli, the Jesse Dietschi Trio will perform at the Salt Spring Island United Church on Tuesday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m.
Called a “virtuoso” by Downbeat Magazine and a “musical contrabassist” by The WholeNote, Winnipeg-born Jesse Dietschi performs internationally as both a freelance jazz musician and orchestral bassist. He has performed, recorded and toured with a spectrum of artists, including the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company, Andrea Bocelli, Carly Rae Jepsen, The Headstones and Mirvish musical theatre productions. These wide-ranging influences can be heard throughout the compositions on Gradient and will be showcased at the Salt Spring show.
Doors open upstairs at the church at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 performance start time.
