Big Band Slam

Each year we invite high schools from across the Greater Toronto Area to duke it out during The Big Band Slam - an afternoon of trumpet blasting, trombone sliding, sax squealing excitement - during the TD Toronto Jazz Festival. For the 2013 Slam, we're pleased to have Alex Dean acting as guest artist and moderator. Alex will rehearse and perform with each ensemble, and host the Slam on the day of the event.

The 2013 Big Band Slam takes place on Thursday, June 27, 2-5 pm at The Rex Hotel.

Check back soon for more details including participating bands.

The Big Band Slam is a free, all-ages event, and is generously supported by the Ken Page Memorial Trust.
