Fifth Element

Oct 16, 2026 8:00 PM – 10:30 PM The Jazz Room

Live Music Concert

The music of Fifth Element is rooted in The Great American Songbook, and this rich resource has allowed artists from all generations in the jazz genre to explore creative artistry both individually and collectively. Fifth Element was founded in 2016 by former tenor saxophonist and arranger, Dave Coules, who passed away in February of 2025. Many of the arrangements performed by the ensemble were crafted by Dave and designed to honour the original song as well as to provide fresh interpretations of this music for our listeners. In doing so, Fifth Element celebrates the history of the great vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen McRae who have performed these songs. In addition, our music captures facets of current renditions by artists such as Karrin Allyson and Stacey Kent. In 2020, we released our first album “Fifth Element” which has aired across Canada and internationally to very positive reviews. It was nominated and won Best Jazz Album for 2021 on One World Music Radio.
