Neil Gray Music
He’s number 23 on the North American Campus College radio jazz and he is bringing his music through the Kootenays this winter with his newest record In the Streets. Drummer and composer Neil Gray plays the Memorial Hall in Silverton BC, February 28th.
Neil Gray is born and raised in BC and his new album speaks to the many people, places, and times Neil experienced during his time in the Vancouver jazz scene. Released October 31st 2025 on Canada’s jazz label Cellar Live, the album plays host to legendary Canadian jazz players like Cory Weeds on tenor sax, and Bruno Hubert on piano.
Joining him in New Denver will be renowned Canadian pianist David Restivo, bassist Douglas Stephenson, Kiyo Elkuf on the tenor sax, and trumpet. Celebrate new contemporary jazz music with an added shimmering guest appearance of vocalist Leila Naderi (also known as Leila Neverland), for a memorable evening of jazz.
To hear more, check out the All That Jazz radio segment that plays a tune off Neil’s album called For Those in the Back, at HR 1 Seg B, or find Neil’s full album on Bandcamp.
