We all know the TD Toronto Jazz Festival is coming, but did you also know WorldPride is taking place on the same dates as we are? Check out some of the Pride related activities we'll be offering up!
The final two Artistic Director's Guide to Jazz - Live! sessions are now online. At each session, Artistic Director Josh Grossman chats with a special guest about a different series of concerts at this year's TD Toronto Jazz Festival. This year's sessions were recorded by Regent Radio. All four sessions are now available online as audio podcasts: Josh chats with Alex Samaras about vocalists; with Larnell Lewis about the influence of R&B; with Bill King about playing solo; and with Margaret Stowe about guitarists.
One is a self-taught guitar prodigy, the other is part of an elite group, listed in Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of all time. All Time! Now's that a powerful 1-2 punch.
Speaking of powerful 1-2 punches, the Jane Mallett Theatre plays host to, not two, but three incredible jazz musicians when the Festival kicks off. Don't believe us? Just read some of the quotes these artists have been garnering.
A lot of music comes across our desks and with a lineup like this year's, it's just been non-stop activity among the staff sharing our new favourite tunes.
