It was a rare musical treat at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church last night, as hometown talent Josh Krushel returned for an evening of top-tier jazz.
The jazz pianist, composer and educator—home from Vancouver—was greeted by an appreciative crowd of about 100, all eager for a taste of live jazz. Their standing ovation at the end of the performance sent a clear message.
Krushel was joined by acclaimed Calgary musicians Stefano Valdo on bass and Afolabi Kapojuwo on drums, forming a dynamic trio that delivered both polish and passion.
Their set featured a mix of Krushel’s original compositions—including “Triangle” and “Cellphone,” which drew laughs as he explained the quirky stories behind their titles. The group also performed a number of jazz standards, including a pair Krushel cited being among his personal favourites.
