The book about the legendary saxophonist, flautist, and clarinetist, who was raised in Victoria, was written by the bandleader’s son, Guy, and documents his father’s time working with scores of jazz luminaries (including Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett and Duke Ellington) prior to his death in 1993.

Weeds, who runs the Fraser MacPherson Jazz Fund, which awards grants and scholarships to B.C. music students, is a veteran bandleader and will be joined at this concert/book launch event by guitarist Bill Coon, bassist Louis Rudner, and drummer John Lee.

A fitting way to pay tribute to one of our city’s beloved sons. TIM & THE GLORY BOYS Where: Mary Winspear Centre, 2243 Beacon Ave.,.
