Long-time supporters of the Vancouver International Jazz Festival and a host of individual talents, Arni May and his family all hail from professional performing backgrounds.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.evalu8.org/staticpage?page=review&siteid=2244" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.evalu8.org/staticpage?page=re"><U>See the whole review..</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c8ffffff00.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="17661280.gif" border=0 width="97" height="40" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> When he was alive, jazz man Lynton Garner was a big part of the Vancouver / Kitsilano scene. Rossini's restaurant, reknown for its Saturday jam sessions, was his Canadian home and those who knew him, loved him dearly. In his memory, friends and musicians alike gather every year to celebrate his birthday and help raise money for a Capilano College music scholarship donated in his name.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.catherinebarr.com/photos/westender2005/rossinislyntonbday/index.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.catherinebarr.com/photos/west"><U>See the whole review..</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c8ffffff00.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="17aa82e0.jpg" border=0 width="168" height="46" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> ...I then remember the three Greenhorn Saturday sessions with Linton Garner. I was there every Saturday and I recall many other players going to the Greenhorn sessions, just to play music with Linton.....to play ballads with Mr.Garner was a royal treat. To hear his opinions on the playing and such was even better.</div> <div> Well, I am very happy to have been asked to host the new Jam session in Vancouver. Arni May at Rossini's in Gastown has asked me to put together trios for a regular Sunday session in Gastown.Arni really wants to support this "Jam void" in Vancouver. So, it has been confrmed, the Session is back on!!...</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://vancouverjazz.com/forums/showthread.php?t=678" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://vancouverjazz.com/forums/showthre"><U>See the whole review..</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c8ffffff00.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="17c77310.jpg" border=0 width="119" height="49" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> ...This festival will be a tough one for Rossini's owner Arni May, since it will be the first without piano great Linton Garner, who played at Rossini's since day one and who died this spring. "He was a surrogate father to me," says May, who's renamed the lane beside the Kits room in Garner's honour. ...</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.canada.com/vancouvercourier/restguide/issues03/064103/dining.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.canada.com/vancouvercourier/r"><U>See the whole review..</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700c8ffffff00.png" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="17661280.gif" border=0 width="97" height="40" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Rossini's restaurant in Gastown held an all-day jazz fest fundraiser for hurricane Katrina relief last Sunday.

It was a blast. Stu Loseby headed the band along with Russ Botten, Chris Siegerson and Don Fraser. Miles Black came down and played as well. Richard Graham and I got to sit in with Russ, Miles and Stu. It was an honour to be playing with people of that calibre, not to mention for member's of Linton's family who came out to be there.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://vancouverjazz.com/forums/showthread.php?t=690" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://vancouverjazz.com/forums/showthre"><U>See the whole review..</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> We're still in the process of collecting and posting reviews.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <U>Kits Beach</U></div> <div> <U>1525 Yew Street @ Cornwall</U></div> <div> <U>Vancouver, British Columbia,  V6K 3E5  Canada</U></div> <div> P: 604.737.8080</div> <div> F: 604.408.1333</div> <div> E:<A HREF="mailto:info@rossinis.bc.ca" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:info@rossinis.bc.ca"> </A><A HREF="mailto:rossinis@rossinisjazz.com " TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:rossinis@rossinisjazz.com ">rossinis@rossinisjazz.com </A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="04c20500.jpg" border=0 width="800" height="80" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Designed & Maintained by <B>KOZAK Web Design</B> - Contact: <A HREF="mailto:kozak.office@yahoo.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:kozak.office@yahoo.com">webmaster</A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
