Kate Blechinger Quartet

/

Sunday • 4:00 pm

Jazz Alley | (Alley) 93 St & 118 Ave (Southside of 118)

Kate Blechinger is an inventive Edmonton based vocalist, composer, and arranger. Originally hailing from Regina, Saskatchewan, Kate has been active in the Western Canadian music scene since 2013, bringing her own unique brand of vocal jazz to the TD Edmonton International Jazz Festival, the Yardbird Suite, and countless other venues. Musically, Kate takes direct influence from the vast prairie landscapes of her youth to create expansive, evocative compositions and arrangements for listeners to enjoy. Her “jazz” is the musical equivalent of an artist’s palette, and is definitely a hybrid of sorts; she pairs the harmony, instrumentation and improvisation of more traditional jazz forms with the lyricism of modern jazz and folk genres. What results is a music that is personal, poetic, and playful – and one that involves audiences in a truly eclectic musical journey!
