ELLIS HALL AND VANCOUVER SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: SOUL UNLIMITED

If anyone can call a show Soul Unlimited, Hall can. The powerful singer and multi-instrumentalist has either performed or recorded with Stevie Wonder, Natalie Cole, Herbie Hancock, Bobby Womack, Ray Charles and many others. Like Wonder and Charles, Georgia-born Hall is blind, and like Wonder and the late Charles, his musical talents tilt to genius territory, as he commands keyboards, bass, drums and guitar. When: Friday and Saturday, 8 p.m. Where: Orpheum Theatre Tickets and info: vancouversymphony.ca

‘Ambassador of Soul’ Ellis Hall has worked with such musicians as Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Natalie Cole and Bobby Womack.
