The Friends of Nanaimo Jazz Society's annual Beer & Burger fundraiser is an opportunity to support local jazz education while enjoying a great dinner on a Friday night! Throughout the night, there will be performances from local jazz high-school students accompanied by New York based bassist Christian Fabian.
Christian Fabian was born in Sweden, and moved to the US in the ’90s to attend Berklee College. He is currently active in the New York City jazz scene, playing with Mike Longo’s NY State of the Art Jazz Ensemble and around the metro area. He is a co-leader of the New Lionel Hampton Band featuring Jason Marsalis. He co-founded the Native Jazz Quartet—featuring Jason Marsalis and Reuel Lubag—with Ed Littlefield. The Quartet was selected by the US State Department to be American Jazz Ambassadors in 2013 and toured South America for the US in 2014.
The goal of the Friends of Nanaimo Jazz Society is to enrich and develop future generations of musicians, composers, arrangers and producers. We support young musicians who have the interest and desire to improve their musicianship. By bringing world-class professional musicians to our community, clinics and workshops become more affordable to a greater number of young and aspiring musicians. When young musicians are able to interact with and learn from professional musicians they are challenged and encouraged to take their music to the next level.
