Shakura S'Aida: TD Toronto Jazz Festival Summer Concert Series
2021-07-02 17:00 - 18:00 | Long & McQuade Performance Hall, 4 Pardee Avenue, Toronto, Canada
The TD Toronto Jazz Festival Summer Concert Series is a weekly concert series, broadcasting live from the Long & McQuade Performance Hall at jazz.fm91, which kicks off our 35th anniversary celebrations, culminating in the 35th edition of the TD Toronto Jazz Festival in June, 2022. Presented by TD, the Summer Concert Series highlights 10 local acts who each bring their own unique perspective to the performance of jazz, and reflect a variety of the elements which have been part of the Festival over the past 35 years: from emerging artists and young lions to the best of the best; from traditional jazz to new sounds; from mentorship to community connections.
Jazz has always been inextricably connected to the Blues, and some of the biggest names in Blues music have graced our stages. Just as jazz has been influenced – and adapted – by an enormous variety of cultures and traditions, so has the Blues. Shakura S’Aida brings her own unique musical perspective – a mix of blues, soul and rock – to her powerhouse sets.

Sammy Jackson Quintet: TD Toronto Jazz Festival Summer Concert Series
2021-07-09 17:00 - 18:00 | Long & McQuade Performance Hall, 4 Pardee Avenue, Toronto, Canada
The TD Toronto Jazz Festival Summer Concert Series is a weekly concert series, broadcasting live from the Long & McQuade Performance Hall at jazz.fm91, which kicks off our 35th anniversary celebrations, culminating in the 35th edition of the TD Toronto Jazz Festival in June, 2022.

The Festival has always been an important platform for emerging artists, connecting them with new fans and new venues – artists like Gregory Porter, Snarky Puppy and even Diana Krall started as club acts and quickly grew into major draws; Medeski Martin & Wood started as relative unknowns at the 100-capacity Rivoli and built a loyal Festival audience which would later help them sell out our 1400-capacity tent. Sammy Jackson may be headed on that same trajectory – her debut album just won the 2021 JUNO Award in the Best Vocal Jazz category – while at the same time representing a line of outstanding vocalists presented by the Festival including Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dianne Reeves and more.

Elmer Ferrer Group: TD Toronto Jazz Festival Summer Concert Series

Toronto is home to one of the largest Cuban populations outside of Cuba, and Cuban musical traditions have been well-represented on our stages over the years. From visiting artists like Gonzalo Rubalcaba, the Afro-Cuban All Stars and Omara Portuondo to legendary local artists like Jane Bunnett, Hilario Duran and OKAN, Cuban sounds have played an important role in each year’s Festival programming. Elmer Ferrer is one of the local Cuban community’s most exciting players – a fiery guitarist who takes a decidedly contemporary approach to Cuban musical traditions, earning him a regular spot in the band of Larnell Lewis, and a 2021 JUNO Award nomination for his own music.

From Christian McBride to Geoffrey Keezer, Russell Malone to Esperanza Spalding, to some of today’s biggest local names, the Festival has always taken pride in presenting the Young Lions of jazz – musicians who have gone on to make a major impact on the international jazz scene, but who were relatively unknown when they first played the Festival. We even introduced a young Harry Connick Jr. to Toronto in 1989! Jesse Ryan continues this tradition – winner of the Toronto Arts Foundation Emerging Jazz Artist award in 2020, he released his debut album the same year and has already made a substantial mark on the Toronto scene with his unique blend of jazz and Caribbean musical traditions.

Joe Sealy Quartet: TD Toronto Jazz Festival Summer Concert Series

Since 1987, at least 85% of Festival performers have been Canadian. From the smallest clubs to the biggest stages, the Festival has provided an outstanding development opportunities for musicians from across the country, whether just emerging, or well-established…and each artist brings a unique perspective to their music of what it means to be Canadian. Joe Sealy is a great example – a Canadian jazz legend, he brought to life the Africville Suite: a groundbreaking work musically, but also a vital showcase of a difficult period in the Canadian history of race relations – a history which Joe experienced first hand. His performance of the Africville Suite at the 1996 Festival remains one of our most important moments.
