Olympian & X Games Slopestyle Champion, Anna Segal will join us to present the film, FINDING THE LINE.

It's a film about fear, its paralyzing grip on humans and how it affects our decision-making. Anna Segal and Freeride World Tour & big mountain skier, Nat Segal, use their skiing to understand fear and how it manifests in the two sibling's lives.

praise for Black Gardenia~
“Daphne Roubini's original tunes bring to mind Django Reinhardt’s Gypsy Jazz with Billie Holiday as vocalist.” Vancouver Sun

“This Jazz/country/folk/blues band filter everything they do through their own special musical time capsule.”North Shore News

“The musical equivalent of taking a bath in a barrel of finely aged
bourbon.” Robert Collins, CTV BC

“Black Gardenia features the evocative vocalist Daphne Roubini, who sounds at once retro – think Billie Holiday and Madeleine Peyroux – and yet cheekily modern and on trend.” Georgia Mancio, ReVoice! Festival, London, UK.

“A relaxed approach to old school jazz with tinges of blues, country, and western swing, with very fine vocals from Daphne Roubini, and some of the hippest Ukulele that you can hope to hear.”
Ken Pickering, TD Vancouver Intl Jazz Festival

Full Press Reviews:
Fresh and Local: Georgia Straight
"Black Gardenia's sophomore effort is built on a brave idea. Mixing jazz and blues standards with a number of original tracks, the record could have easily been a mismatch of quality. Band leader Daphne Roubini, however, makes sure that's not a possibility. Lending her Billie Holiday-esque lilt to classics like T-Bone Walker's gruff 'I'm just waiting' for your call" and adding a folk twist to "You'd be so nice to come home to", Roubini expertly ties the covers together with her rich velvety vocals. Transporting listeners
back to a time of martinis, lounge suits, and hazy cigarette smoke. all with an audio clarity that eludes remastered editions of jazz classics. Black Gardenia offers authoritative modern versions of those staples. The fact that Roubini's originals are indistinguishable among the stacked line-up is the
biggest compliment of all."

Black Gardenia: Lucky Star | Stuart Derdeyn (The Province, Edmonton Journal,
Montreal Gazette, The Vancouver Sun, Ottawa Herald, and Regina Leader.)
“Mining the music of an era that just keeps on delivering, Vancouver
quintet Black Gardenia features the marvellously jazzy vocals of
singer/ukulele ace Daphne Roubini and her life partner guitarist Andrew Smith leading an A-team of local players through less-familiar tunes from the canon by the likes of T-Bone Walker (I’m Just Waitin’ for Your Call) or Hoagy Carmichael and Ned Washington (The Nearness of You), as well as a few
originals. Where many groups that mine this well can be too reverential, this group manages to show respect for the music without being too reverent. Roubini has a lovely Jo Stafford-esque set of pipes and with the combined guitar skills of Smith, Cousin Harley’s Paul Pigat, Stephen Nikleva and Jimmy Roy (Petunia and the Vipers), as well as violinist Cameron Wilson and
bassist Brent Gubbels (Van Django) and Patrick Metzger, the group is assured lots of swinging interplay. But the one who really gives the material the extra oomph is trumpeter Chris Davis whose inspired and subtle blowing just colours the set with the kind of warm quality that makes you want a good cocktail, an intimate cabaret and a tux. Classy sounding stuff.”

New Album from Vancouver’s Black Gardenia:
Lucky Star
CD Release Fall/Winter 2017

BlackGardenia is a different kind of vintage jazz band. Their exploration of the mysterious place where jazz, blues, folk and old country meet has yielded a sound that takes listeners to a time and place where cool was always classy and noir was the norm.

The band’s forthcoming second album, Lucky Star, blends reinterpreted classics with vintage-inspired originals, with an all-star line-up of musical talent refining their distinct sound to deliver their finest work yet.

“For this record we wanted to honour the music we love,” explains
bandleader and vocalist Daphne Roubini. “We were excited to mix a bit of Django Reinhardt and Hot Club de France, T-Bone Walker, jazz swing, and our country and folk favourites. These songs came together during our weekly residency in English Bay. Our band would change slightly every week and I became fascinated by how a different bass player or guitarist, or whether we had a trumpet or violin as the feature instrument, would influence the
interpretation of the song. Every person playing with us would change the entire sound of our set list. It reminded me of how different the sea looks everyday. It’s the same view yet so different. We love exploring these transient moments and wanted to capture that on this record!”

Black Gardenia’s musical pedigree speaks for itself. In her roles as leader of the band, half of acclaimed ukulele duo Ruby & Smith, and founder of Ruby’s Ukes, the world’s largest ukulele school outside Hawaii, Daphne has been profiled on CBC radio, on Shaw TV and The Province, Vancouver Sun, Georgia Straight, Ukulele Magazine, and the Vancouver Courier. On Lucky Star
her captivating vocals have been paired with the talents of her musical (and life) partner, guitarist Andrew Smith, along with stellar musicians including Chris Davis (Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Jean Batiste, The Late show), Paul Pigat (Cousin Harley), Stephen Nikleva and Jimmy Roy (Ray Condo and the Ricochets and Petunia and the Vipers), Cameron Wilson and Brent Gubbels
(VanDjango), and Patrick Metzger (Headwater, Viper Central).

“When Chris Davis agreed to co-produce Lucky Star with me we sat down and picked the songs that really stood out to us, then specifically chose the musicians we wanted to would play on each song,” continues Daphne. “It was an amazing experience to pick the sound and version we wanted first, and then orchestrate those musicians for the sessions. We found we heard things
in the same way, which was quite magical.“For me, Lucky Star is the perfect musical cocktail. I’ll have mine vintage with a twist!”

Will you find out what actually happened to your neighbour after you heard that bloodcurdling scream? Or perhaps a case of mistaken identity will cause you to be chased by mysterious government agents. Whatever the case, be prepared to ask yourself... will I ever be able to take a shower again?

Follow the flock of murderous crows taking flight to the fabulous Anza Club and see if you can escape with your life! Although, Mother says this is not a guarantee...
