Hey all you hepcats, you connoisseurs of bebop, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival is waiting for you. I’m not the biggest jazz aficianado in the West, but I know a good thing when I see it, and this is a good thing.

A couple names that jumped out at me as I scanned the list of artists who will be performing were The Dave Brubeck Quartet and Herbie Hancock. But there’s a lot more than that going on at the ten day festival.
