Toronto Jazz Festival

Various Locations

Now in its 24th year, Toronto’s main jazz festival covers much of the musical spectrum and much of the city, from concert venues and public spaces to neighbourhood bars and restaurants. Headliners pianist Keith Jarrett, drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Gary Peacock have been working together since 1983, setting a contemporary standard for the piano trio with their close interaction and intense sense of swing.
