A musical mainstay in the Comox Valley and beyond, Bush brings not only his fiery trumpet but a dynamite ensemble of some of BC鈥檚 finest jazz talent.
Based in Nanaimo, Bush is no stranger to local music lovers. He makes the weekly trek to Courtenay as director of the Georgia Strait Big Band and as a dedicated mentor to community musicians. With degrees from Concordia and McGill University, and past teaching posts in Texas and B.C., Bush blends deep musical scholarship with stage-tested chops.
Joining him for this special performance is James Darling on keyboards. A seasoned cruise ship performer and a core part of VIU鈥檚 jazz scene, Darling brings versatility from R&B to vocal jazz.
