Fourth Annual National Jazz Awards Coming To Toronto

On Tuesday, June 21, the annual National Jazz Awards will be celebrating both Canadian jazz musicians and its fourth year.

There are 25 different categories of which musicians have been nominated, and fans can vote for their favourites online. Winners will be applauded at Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre within the Mardi Gras theme. Participants will feel a mix of being on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street and 1800’s Paris.

Some of the categories include Jazz Journalist of the Year, Jazz Broadcaster of the Year, Jazz Festival of the Year, Jazz Producer of the Year and International Musician of the Year. There will also be a special Lifetime Achievement Award and a tribute to guitarist Domenic Troiano, former member of James Gang and Guess Who. Rik Emmett will accommodate his performance on trumpet, as well as Jeff Healey and others.

Hosting the event will be performers, Heather Bambrick and Joe Sealy. Performers are Emilie-Claire Barlow, Coral Egan, David Braid Sextet, Marc Jordan, Jane Bunnett, Swamparella, Fortin and Leveille Donato Nasturica Quartet and P.J. Perry.

A dinner reception will be held at 6 p.m. and the awards show will run from 8 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $65 for general admission and $95 for cafe seating and dinner.
