This concert is for those who have donated generously to JAZZ.FM91; a not-for-profit, registered charity. Those who have donated $500 or more are offered a Jazz Safari™ (as a thank you gift) which is a tour of five Toronto jazz clubs on a mini-coach, hosted by Jaymz Bee. Many have chosen this One Stop Safari instead of the club crawl; preferring to stay in one stop and allowing dozens of jazz vocalists to come to them instead. All donors are allowed one guest.
Singers such as Maureen Kennedy, Shannon Butcher, Michael Danso and June Garber will be backed up by Richard Whiteman (piano), Ross McIntyre (bass), Mark Kelso (drums) and Christopher Plock (saxes). If you would like to attend this event, contact aliddell@jazz.fm to make a donation of $500 or more to JAZZ.FM91. If you can’t make October 8th, there will be a similar event in March.
