NYE!! The Justin Glibbery Sextet

The best NYE party in the Okanagan deserves the best party band in the land.

Glibbery, a professional pianist, composer, and music educator, has been a part of the Okanagan Valley music scene for 32 years. His sound encompasses many influences: Lyle Mayes (Pat Metheny Group), Oscar Peterson, Bruce Hornsby, Keith Jarrett, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie. Glibbery’s music always has a very lyrical melody with a solid harmonic and rhythmic foundation and contains some twists and turns along the way.

“The Vernon Jazz Club is one of my favourite places to play. It feels like a jazz club from the 40’s with the great listening crowds and the vibe of a really cool room,” reveals Glibbery. “Intimate venues are the best to play at because you are very interactive with your audience. They feel you and you feel them. This circle of energy usually catapults the performance into something really magical where almost anything can happen.”

Glibbery’s recording projects have included three all-original albums as well as working with Juno-award winning guitarist Oscar Lopez on his most recent album Apasionado, which was recorded at Glibbery’s home studio with Glibbery helping to both arrange and produce it.

Joining Justin on stage will be a stellar line-up of some of the valley’s finest. Stefan Bienz on bass, Michael Treadway on drums, Bryn Badel on trumpet, Yanti on vocals, and Stan Sabourin on sax.
