SUMMARY:Jazz Vespers with Dean Thiessen’s Stranger Friends
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Sunday, April 2nd at 4pm, where the spirit meets jazz. Featuring Dean Thiessen’s Stranger Friends.\n\n\n\n\nThe Good Samaritan Suite is a musical exploration of the meaning and characters within this well known parable. There are many parallels within this story and to the society we currently find ourselves in. We are living in a time where so many social injustices are brought to our attention and we are being called to change our lives and make sacrifices for the betterment of others. Thad Bailey-Mai, Ben Parker, Wynston Minckler, and Dean Thiessen have performed under the band name ‘Stranger Friends’ for nearly 4 years so this quartet felt like the obvious creative vehicle for Dean to explore this story. Besides the music, Cindy Dai will perform her own poetry and prose that tie this story and the music so beautifully together with playful anecdotes as well as pressing self reflections.  deanthiessen.com ( http://www.deanthiessen.com )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nBand:\nDean Thiessen – piano & composition\nThad Bailey Mai – trumpet\nWynston Minckler – bass\nBen Parker – drums\nCindy Dai – poetry & narration\n\n\n\n\n\n
