And suddenly, it's kind of the last day of the festival. Most of our official programming wraps up today. We'll be celebrating our volunteers at a party tomorrow evening, we've got Jamie Culllum on Monday night, and there's still a plethora of music in the clubs, but for the hub of the festival (Nathan Phillips Square) today marks the end of activity. It's been an incredible week - excellent music, great turnout overall, and a lot of fun.

Looking back at the last 24 hours I realize it's been a sort of "around the world" musical adventure, with a variety of cultures and countries represented.

If jazz - and all its various kinds - can be represented by a rainbow, all of the colours were on display last night…

First - the Festival doesn’t often overlap with Father’s Day, but this year’s calendar being what it is, I can officially say: Happy Father’s Day!

If my typing looks a little jumpy, it’s because I’m bopping along to the Freshkills Collective and Junia-T, part of our Groove and Graffiti festivities at Nathan Phillips Square…

Almost two weeks of festivities, shenanigans, fun and incredible music. The 2015 TD Toronto Jazz Festival gets underway tomorrow!
Each year around this time I write a blog post highlighting the various ways you can take in the jazz festival. The idea of exploration always seems to be central - discovering new artists and new venues, checking out a style outside your usual tastes or maybe even outside your comfort zone. Whatever you're seeking, you're sure to find it somewhere over the 12 days of the festival.

We're in the final run-up to this year's festival and the office is abuzz with the kind of controlled (ish) chaos always present at this time of year. There are last-minute logistics to work out, schedules to create, and shows to push - this morning I did an interview en francais. (Or, perhaps more accurately, franglais.)
