Starting Monday, March 7, 2005, The Coat Cooke Trio (featuring Clyde Reed on bass and Kenton Loewen on drums) will be setting up shop for a regular residency at Vancouver’s Cellar.

This Monday night feature will be showcasing a jazz and improvised music format, with emphasis on the improvisational aspects of the music. There will be two sets a night, and the trio will enjoy the regular addition of special guests.

This is an exciting addition to the Cellar’s already great programming.

Come down and hear this new venture for the Cellar.
