Vic Vogel
Victor Stefan Vogel, pianist, conductor, composer, arranger, trombonist (born 3 August 1935 in Montreal, QC; died 16 September 2019 in Montreal). Vic Vogel was an icon of Montreal’s jazz scene. He emerged in the 1960s as a musician of considerable influence, bluster and colour. He moved freely between jazz, pop and, occasionally, symphony. He served as music director or accompanist for many CBC TV variety shows and was heard regularly on CBC Radio. He wrote or arranged music for ceremonies at Montreal’s Man and His World in 1968, the 1976 Olympic Summer Games in Montreal, the Canada Games in 1985, and the Grey Cup half-time shows in 1981 and 1985. He also performed at 35 editions of the Montreal International Jazz Festival — more than any other artist.

Macleans
Vicki Gabereau (Profile)
This article was originally published in Maclean’s magazine on September 29, 1997. Partner content is not updated. She looks . . . well, not precisely girlish. But still, there is something undeniably youthful about the woman at the corner table of the nearly deserted bar in Vancouver's Hyatt Regency Hotel.

Victor Coleman
Victor Coleman, poet, editor (born at Toronto, Ont. 11 September 1944). Victor Coleman is recognized as one of the major creative forces behind the late 20th-century boom in Canadian SMALL PRESS publishing. Largely self-educated, Coleman's introduction to PUBLISHING came via technical and administrative positions at larger presses. This work segued into his editorship at Coach House Press and his own creative output of POETRY, text-art and audio recordings. Throughout his early career he published with Coach House but also with other young, upstart presses like Talon and Intrepid Press, culminating in an inclusion in the initial edition of Gary GEDDES' standard anthology of Canadian poetry, 15 Canadian Poets, a long teaching career, and his status as an elder statesman of small press publishing in Canada.
