Hey Steve thanks for droppin in. you asked about the smooth jazz scene in Vancouver. Totally over looked sorry to tell you. We have some nice venues on the jazz concert level all the same. The Chan Centre @the University of B.C. I have an associate that spins a jazz radio show out of that Campus..Gavin Walker...He is a great sax player as well. more on the traditional side of thinks but great music. Ken pickering runs the westcoast jazz and blues society..he books most of the international and local talent in most of the local major venues. theaters range from 1000 seaters upto 3000 seaters.Most concert seating. A few have full service. those are the ones I love. 300 to 1000 seat supper clubs work for me.
I'll send some links if your interested in working here bro. Hook up with me on facebook. I have maybe 100 local musicians on that site.
peace.

Thanks Steve for your qualified opinion
I appreciate it! Echo effect was made by difusion of sound in that hall and of course by the "clever" guy looking after the mix...
All the best!
