Facebook Live Listening Party with Aimee-Jo and Trio Velocity

It's been just over a year since the inception of BORJONER at a cafe in downtown Calgary, where I was brainstorming names for the project that would become Borjoner. I was trying to encapsulate what we experience as Jazz musicians and what the band and I experience when playing together. After a little bit of research, it was aptly named BORJONER (pronounced BORE-JOH-NEH) and it's Old French for the term burgeoning, or to put out buds.
The sprouts of inspiration we seek and experience as artists are like those buds pushing through the ground, and while we wish we could show you in person what happens when we play together, my hope is that we can be together in spirit on Friday, June 26.

Join us as we talk about the album and how it came to be.

AIMEE-JO BENOIT/TRIO VELOCITY LIVESTREAM RECORDING SESSION
Oct
6
12:00 PM12:00

AIMEE-JO BENOIT/TRIO VELOCITY LIVESTREAM RECORDING SESSION

BOJORNER: AIMEE JO BENOIT WITH TRIO VELOCITY will be an adventurous recording of loosely arranged and improvised versions of modern pop and folk-rock tunes in a jazz setting, taking place at the beautiful BUCKINGJAM PALACE in Calgary AB.
The project is titled BOJORNER, which in Old French means to burgeon, sprout or blossom. The concept of budding or sprouting is a reflection of the inspiration which comes quickly as a bud or sprout to an artist. (To be inspired is an act of improvisation by its own merit.)
As the audience has such a great effect on how our music cascades into being, the recording session will be livestreamed using YOUTUBE LIVE. We invite you to join us October 6th, 2019! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIRNGf_syH8

The scheduled time is approximate due to set up and session takes.
