SUMMARY:Hermann's Jazz presents a tribute to Moonlight Sinatra w/ Award-Winning\, World-Touring Vocalist
DESCRIPTION:Known for her clever original lyrics\, timeless style\, and captivating stage presence\, don’t miss West Coast–based jazz artist Angela Verbrugge as she returns to the stage at Hermann’s Friday January 23rd with NYC pianist Ray Gallon\, stellar rhythm section of Detroit-born Louis Rudner and Nanaimo-based Graham Villette. Angela and Ray are celebrating the release of their new album\, In the Wonder of the Night\, a vocal jazz collection of standards and originals that explore how nighttime makes space for romance\, connection\, and contemplation and pays tribute to Moonlight Sinatra – Frank’s atmostpheric and beautiful collaboration of arrangements with Nelson Riddle. They will also cover other Sinatra repertoire and share behind the scenes of both Moonlight Sinatra as well as their own process of creating In the Wonder of the Night – recorded in Vancouver\, mixed in Toronto and mastered in NYC. \nPossessing a “winsome\, brightly-burnished\, pliable voice\, ample emotional intelligence\, and conspicuously good taste… now is the time for Angela Verbrugge”\, writes Andrew Gilbert for JazzTimes Magazine. Inspired by Carmen McRae\, Ella Fitzgerald\, Anita O’Day\, and other jazz vocalists popular in 1940s/50s\, Angela brings tenderness\, wit\, and passion to her interpretations of standards. Her originals are inspired by the classic Gershwin–Cole Porter tradition. Her collaborations include songwriting with Caity Gyorgy\, Ken Fowser\, Nick Hempton\, Neal Miner and Ray Gallon. \nSince 2021\, Angela has performed across Japan\, Taiwan\, Hong Kong\, Türkiye\, England\, Germany\, Luxembourg\, Italy\, France\, and from coast-to-coast in Canada. She has won reader polls in JazzTimes and All About Jazz\, released four acclaimed albums on US and German record labels\, and was recently nominated for Jazz Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards. Her music is played by CBC Saturday Night Jazz\, and on prominent jazz programs around the world. Her catalogue has accumulated almost a million streams across music platforms. Verbrugge has shared the stage with leading Canadian jazz artists such as Neil Swainson\, Terry Clarke\, Jim Doxas\, Miles Black\, Jodi Proznick\, Reg Schwager\, Kodi Hutchinson\, Karl Janusska\, Sylvain Gagnon\, and international jazz musicians such as Evan Sherman\, Franck Amsallem\, Julian Schmidt\, Massimiliano Rolff\, Xaver Hellmeier\,Hiroko Mase and Akane Matsumoto. \nAngela will be joined by a wonderful trio: Grammy-nominated New York City pianist Ray Gallon\, alongside two musicians well-known to Victoria audiences… Louis Rudner and Graham Villette. \nRay Gallon is a veteran New York jazz pianist whose expressive\, swinging style bridges bebop tradition and modern creativity who Ahmad Jamal called “extraordinary”. Mentored by the likes of John Lewis\, Hank Jones\, and Jaki Byard\, Gallon has performed worldwide with icons including Ron Carter\, Lionel Hampton\, Art Farmer\, Benny Golson\, Les Paul\, and Wycliffe Gordon\, and has appeared at the White House and Kennedy Center alongside Dizzy Gillespie\, Milt Jackson\, and Joe Williams. An in-demand accompanist in New York and beyond\, he accompanied Jon Hendricks\, Sheila Jordan\, Jane Monheit\, and Chaka Khan. His acclaimed Cellar Live trio albums Grand Company (with Ron Carter and Lewis Nash) and Make Your Move (with David Wong and Kenny Washington) showcase his inventive originals and inspired interpretations of standards. A full-time faculty member at The City College of New York in Harlem\, Gallon has also taught at Juilliard and The New School. Pianist Bill Charlap calls his work “informed\, passionate\, and personal… with a wrought-iron jazz vocabulary.” \nURLs:\nTickets: https://go.evvnt.com/3416852-0?pid=10320\nInstagram: https://go.evvnt.com/3416852-2?pid=10320\nFacebook: https://go.evvnt.com/3416852-3?pid=10320\nBandsintown: https://go.evvnt.com/3416852-4?pid=10320\nYouTube: https://go.evvnt.com/3416852-5?pid=10320\nWebsite: https://go.evvnt.com/3416852-7?pid=10320 \nDate and Time: On Fri\, 23 Jan 2026 19:00 – Fri\, 23 Jan 2026 21:30 \nVenue details: Hermann’s Jazz Club\, 753 View Street\, Victoria\, British Columbia\, V8W 1J9\, Canada \nCategory: Live Music | Jazz \nPrice:\nGeneral Admission: CAD 30.00 \nArtists: Angela Verbrugge\, Ray Gallon\, Louis Rudner\, Graham Villette
