The Artistic Director's Guide to Jazz - Live!

Tune in to Toronto Downtown Jazz Artistic Director Josh Grossman for the The Artistic Director's Guide to Jazz - Live! At each session, Josh chats with a special guest about a different series of concerts at this year's TD Toronto Jazz Festival. You'll hear interesting perspectives on why these artists are important, hear sound clips, and get the inside scoop - go "beyond the bio" and learn what you can expect this summer from some of the festival's 1,500+ participating musicians, 350+ concerts and over 40 locations.
