Bibb & Son

Leon Bibb is a legend on the Vancouver music scene -- his big break came with a role in the original Broadway production of Annie Get Your Gun, and in the 1970's he settled in Vancouver after touring with Bill Cosby.

Eric Bibb is Leon's son, he lives in England but was back in Vancouver on tour when this concert, recorded at the Capilano College Theatre, was recorded for broadcast on Canada Live (8 p.m.) Saturday night. His dad was in the audience, and those who were there tell me that it was "just a magic night" of Eric's blues and gospel styled music.

Then after son you can hear father Leon performing with the Tuned Air Choir from Saltspring Island, BC.

The third concert features jazz vocalist Kurt Elling recorded at the 2007 Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Elling, btw, is nominated for a 2008 Grammy for his Concord Jazz release, Nightmoves.
