THE GIFT OF JAZZ

The Gift Of Jazz is a musical celebration of Jazz from its African and Gospel roots to modern day expressions.

From the cotton fields to the early roots of Gospel music to the more contemporary jazz sounds of today, The Gift of Jazz celebrates the courage, determination, grace and unrelenting spirit of men and women who overcame incredible challenges (such as breaking down the colour barrier) and reflects the history, impact and contributions of these performers on the world of Jazz. 

The Gift Of Jazz is based on the highly successful Satin Dolls, which played to sold-out houses in Ottawa at the Canadian Tulip Festival, the National Arts Centre Fourth Stage and, in adapted formats has highlighted corporate and charitable events in Toronto as well as Ottawa.
