Friday Evening Performances:

Jen Hodge All Stars:

The Jen Hodge All Stars are Vancouver’s most authentic and most in-demand early jazz band comprised of some of the city’s best young jazz musicians, the group is remarkably well-versed in the music of the 1910s, ’20s, and ’30s, taking their cues from past greats such as early Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, and Jelly Roll Morton.  The group’s extensive repertoire, versatility, boundless energy, and deep love for musical spontaneity makes each All Stars performance different from the next and keeps listeners, dancers, and fellow musicians all coming back for more.

REP Bands and REP Choir:

Representative Bands have enjoyed a long history at the Envision Financial Jazz Festival. This year celebrates the first year of the Vocal Jazz REP Choir.
