Event Description

What are the “greatest” love songs popularized during the 1930s to 1950s? Come to Hermann’s on Saturday April 19 to hear award-winning jazz vocalist Angela Verbrugge’s favourites alongside her own originals inspired by this style! Look forward to an evening of fun, romantic, and swingin’ vocal jazz with the dazzling sound of Dr Tony Genge’s soulful piano improvisations to tug at your heart strings.

Vancouver Island vocalist Angela Verbrugge was nominated for Jazz Artist of the Year at the 2024 Western Canadian Music Awards. In 2025, All About Jazz announced that Verbrugge had topped their Reader Poll for Favourite Living Jazz Vocalist and in 2020 Angela won the JazzTimes’ Readers’ Poll for best female vocalist. She "possesses a winsome, brightly-burnished, pliable voice, ample emotional intelligence, and conspicuously good taste,” and according to JazzTimes, and “for Verbrugge, now is the time.” Angela’s three albums featured standout arrangements of standards and original songs in the style of the Great American Songbook. The projects received praise in All About Jazz, JazzTimes, Jazzwise, Couleurs France, Syncopated Times, Jersey Jazz, LA Jazz Scene and publications around the world leading to tours to Japan, Taiwan, Türkiye, the UK, Germany, France, Luxembourg and eight provinces, all since 2021. Her music has charted on JazzWeek, been featured by CBC and NPR, and she held the number one spot on the Earshot Jazz charts for multiple weeks. Angela’s tracks have been streamed 850,000 times across streaming platforms since her debut in 2019.

A native of Vancouver, Tony Genge is one of Canada’s leading jazz organists and jazz pianists. He is also a respected music educator, and a well-known and much-recorded composer of classical music. As a jazz pianist, his cool and swinging style references the great jazz piano tradition of pianists such Ahmad Jamal, Red Garland, Wynton Kelly, Horace Silver and Les McCann. Over the years Genge has performed with many leading international jazz artists, including Eddie ‘Lockjaw’ Davis, Paul Horn, John Abercrombie, Randy Brecker, Jerry Bergonzi, Jeff Hamilton, Roberta Gamberini, Adam Nussbaum, Gene Bertoncini, Joey Baron, Randy Brecker, Peter Erskin, Larry Grenadier, Lew Soloff, P.J. Perry and many others.

"No maybes; for Verbrugge, now is definitely the time," JazzTimes Magazine (print edition), Andrew Gilbert
“Listen and be delighted. Her art is her own, and she offers rare pleasures.” JazzLives

“As a lyricist Miss Verbrugge seems to have “learned” from the best: one senses the wit of Dave Frishberg, the glorious storytelling of Dorothy Fields and Johnny Mercer, and – all of that and a tinge of pathos that was the hallmark of songs by Cole Porter. However, make no mistake, these lyrics are singularly Miss Verbrugge’s.” That Canadian Magazine
