between jazz and North African music Anagram, a Vancouver-based jazz _H
and Sokoun Trio, a Montreal-based ensemble that hails from North Africa, will spend
two days blending their repertoires to create new sounds. The outcome of this creative
process will be two concerts. First, they will perform on the CBC Radio-Canada outdoor
stage, on Hamilton Street, as part of the ‘Boulevard du Pacifique” broadcast, on Thursday,
June 20", 2013, between 3:30 pm and 5 pm. The next day, Friday June 21°, 2013, the two
groups will come together again as part of the third season of the Féte de la Musique now
known as “Make Music Vancouver ? where they will premiere a full concert in the streets of
Gastown.
Based in Gibson, British Columbia, Anagram has performed in many festivals, such as the
‘Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the Pender Harbour Jazz Festival, and the Gibsons
Jazz Festival... tonamejusta few.
The group is composed of Anna Lumiere, the pianist of the group, (also known as the
leader of the very popular musical group MIMOSA), and Graham Ord, who accompanies
the group on saxophone, along with Bernie Arai on drums. The Anagram trio becomes a
quartet whenever it is accompanied by Adam Robert Thomas, who is an exceptional bass
player.
It was during the musical comedy Sherazade that Mohamed Masmoudi (oud), Zied Ben
Amor (violin/voice) and Joseph Khoury (percussion) met. Encouraged by arranger Guy
Saint-Onges, they went on to form the Sokoun Trio and produced their firstalbum, Zanneh
in 2009.
