With the launch of our 40th-anniversary album, we salute the artists who have been part of this jazz club's family since its 1981 inception. When Hermann launched the club at the Bastion Inn, it was founded on the rich local Trad Jazz scene. This album raises money for the west coast's most iconic jazz club, run as a non-profit in Victoria, BC.
