_ Host
Adrian Vedady

_ Album
Criss-Cross, Thelonious Monk

To enjoy a jazz record, no need to know the name of that guitarist who played on that other record that year with that quartet under that label.

To enjoy a jazz record, we recommend spending Jazz Week at Vin & Vinyle! Every night, the host spins their favourite album on the turntable and shares why they love it so much.

All while you’re enjoying a glass of fine imported wine by Les Décuveurs, specially paired with the music. Cheers!
