IAJE Events preview
This week in Toronto we are fortunate to be hosting the anual IAJE (InternationalAssociation of Jazz Educators) Conference. That silly saying, “Those who can’t do:teach,” certainly doesn’t apply in this scene where numerous educators are alsoactive performers and writers of today’s most cutting edge jazz. Converging onToronto this week are many such musicians. Although the majority of concerts arefor conference attendees only, that won’t stop us from getting to hear from some ofthe best performers! Contrary to some local opinons, Jazz in Toronto is very muchalive…with many little clubs and restraunts popping up with jazz all over town,there are lots of performances to check out. From big concerts to little pizzaparlour gigs, I’ve put together a mix of my fave choices for this weekend.

The new single off Lina’s soon to be released Morning Star. I’ll definitly be checkin for it.
Quincy Jones, Monty Alexander and a host of others come together for a FREE concert on Saturday, January 12 in honor of jazz legend Oscar Peterson. This event will be broadcast LIVE on CBC Radio One and Sirius 137 at 4pm ET.
