Electrojazziness Improvised Concert & Community Jam
May 24, 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm
On Saturday, March May 24th, join us at the Vallican Whole in the Slocan Valley for a beautiful evening of live improvised music!
The night’s journey will feature two distinct improvised jams: 1) a jazz x electronica x hip hop fusion duo, and 2) an open community jam, maybe featuring you?
Our headliners are Electrojazziness, a 100% improvised duo featuring the amazing Montreal-based jazz pianist maestro Alex McNally and the Nelson-based live-music-production-and-freestyling wizard thisissami. These two life-long improvisers come from completely different music backgrounds, yet their journeys intertwined last summer with the development of this jazz, electronic, and hip hop fusion project in Montreal parks. In 2024, Electrojazziness consisted of a series of battery-powered bike-transported free public concerts (see image at the top). In 2025, Alex is coming to the Kootenays, where Electrojazziness will have a 2-week residency at Flow State Studio followed by a 15-performance tour. We invite you to join us on a magical, eclectic, groovy improvised journey with us at the beautiful Vallican Whole.
Here is an eclectic downtempo journey from an Electrojazziness public park performance.
And here is a fun multilingual freestyle with a guest bassist from that same concert.
The evening will open up with a Community Jam! Are you an improviser? Do you want to jam with a bunch of other awesome musicians and vocalists? Or do you want to just come dance, groove, or even just sit and listen to epic improvisations? Come help us make this night memorable. š
Doors open at 7:00pm. Show starts at 7:30pm.
To join community jam, please arrive by 7:10pm at the latest. Free entry for improvisers who arrive by then.
