The Rowan Farintosh Quintet returns to Hermann’s Jazz club on Wednesday, June 16! Having lived in Toronto for the past two years to pursue Jazz studies at Humber College, Saxophonist Rowan Farintosh is back to perform another exciting night of music featuring some of Victoria’s best up and coming musicians. Expect to hear instrumental music rooted in jazz improvisation, while borrowing elements from Funk, Hiphop, and other popular genres.

“Dynamic. Visceral. Tight and free.”

Rowan is extremely excited to be presenting brand new original music, as well as adapted versions of Jazz standards, and more contemporary material.

“My heart is soaring. Such young artists with so much talent and dedication. I’m so glad and relieved that innovative, powerful jazz is still alive and growing in the musicians of 2020.”

Though comprised completely of Victoria raised members, the band attends post secondary music education institutions across North America, including: Humber College (Toronto), McGill University (Montréal), and the Berklee College of Music (Boston).
