Big Band Monday returns on November 2nd with the Magee Senior Secondary band under the direction of Cam Henderson. Show starts at 7pm, tickets available at frankiesjazzclub.com

---

Magee Secondary is made up of keen and enthusiastic high school students. The band regularly performs across the lower mainland at festivals and various shows. In 2025 they toured Ireland and in 2026 they went to Montreal and Quebec City. The group of musicians are very excited to be working with Cam Henderson as their fall artist in residence.

Cam Henderson is an in-demand trombonist, arranger, and educator hailing from Victoria BC, Canada. Cam holds a Bachelor of Music degree from Capilano University and a Master’s degree in Jazz Studies from the University of North Texas, where he played lead trombone in esteemed One O’Clock Lab Band. Cam currently resides in Vancouver BC, where he is a top call trombonist in the jazz, commercial, and latin music scenes. Cam’s regular performance credits include the Vancouver Jazz Orchestra, Critical Hits Jazz Orchestra, Cory Weeds Little Big Band, Julian Borkowski Sextet, Patrick Kao Sextet, and the Thomas Houlden 11-tet. He can also be heard on two releases by the Jaelem Bhate Jazz Orchestra, “On The Edge” (2019) and “Carmen” (2020) and on recordings by Will Clements, Sadé Awele, Josh Ramsay, and the One O’clock Lab Band (2024). In 2025 Cam joined the faculty of the VSO School of Music where he helps direct the Big Band and Vocal Jazz ensembles, and teaches jazz trombone lessons.
