Calgary 
In normal times, JazzYYC celebrates International Jazz Day with a multitude of free and ticketed shows including a children’s show, jazz jams, lunch and learns and an all-day JazzWalk in Inglewood.
But, these are not normal times and JazzYYC is holding the first-ever TD JazzYYC VIRTUAL International Jazz Days Festival running online-only from International Jazz Day, April 30, for a month.
This new festival is in partnership with Jazz Home Delivery, the new online project by former CBC Tonic host Tim Tamashiro.
The festival will feature Calgary artists along with other Canadian artists and will be presented in a professional, quality-sounding, fun, entertaining, broadcast.
