As part of the
Capital Arts Festival,
Lust Life Jazz Band will be featuring a harvest jazz concert in the historic and beautiful chapel at St. Ann's Academy. This concert entitled
Autumn Leaves will be a celebration of fall with music from the Great American Songbook. The setting at St. Ann's Academy is truly a special place to hear music and enjoy the vivid colours of fall around the grounds of the Academy. 2008 will mark the 150th year anniversary of the founding of
St. Ann's Academy, and some of the proceeds for this concert will go to the society of friends of St. Ann's Academy. A concert not to be missed, with limited seating, the Chapel at St Ann's, is an intimate setting to hear the live jazz trio. We hope you can attend and help support a good cause.

Featured musicians in the 2007 Victoria International JazzFest and many other events, Lust Life has been a staple of the Victoria music community over the past decade. Guest soloists often join the band to offer their opinions in the language of jazz. The repertoire stems from the love of the jazz song form, and takes inspiration from blues, jump jazz, funk and swing.
The stylings of Lust Life defy classical description. Their unique eclectic sound paints a mellifluous picture of west coast sound. Each member of the band brings a wealth of history and musical influences. Fused together, their synergy is greater than the sum of the parts. Sultry vocals, infectious grooves, and original improvisations create an exciting new concept in modern west coast jazz.
