This season will be our most moving and inspired yet. We are covering a broad and diverse range of artists and styles, from quartet to big band, from R & B, to gospel to vocal standards to Euro and beyond. We have jazz with a French twist as well as jazz with a touch of Africa.
This upcoming season will be a smorgasbord of musical experiences with plenty of style and flavour. Come and enjoy this year’s musical feast with us!
Check out the audio clips below for a sampling of music from the current season of the Izzy Asper Jazz Performances.
