TD Toronto Jazz Festival

I just attended the fantastic 25th TD Toronto Jazz Festival last week and saw some great performances by Molly Johnson, the Count Basie Orchestra, Randy Weston, David Holland Quintet and Mark McLean. I also had the chance to review Lester McLean's latest CD: Lester McLean 4,3,2,1 which you can read over at Sway Magazine .

A wonderful event this year with such diverse artists including The Roots, which you wouldn't necessarily associate with jazz music. But that is the beauty of the festival ... they are bringing in artists with such a wide range of sounds. It is helping to change the way we look at the festival.
