The Brockville
Concert Association is proud to present the 11th annual 1000
Islands Jazz Festival.
The
1000 Islands Jazz Festival has become a premiere jazz destination
rightfully earning the title of the “Best Small Jazz Festival
in Canada”.
The
nine day festival has headlined many of North America's finest
and rising jazz artists in various Main Stage Concerts, and Heritage
Concerts.
The Main Stage features a range of top jazz performance. The Nylons are Canada's premiere accapella singing group with an international reputation. Alex Cuba is a genuine Latin music superstar with both a Juno and a Grammy on his shelf. Kristin Korb is a jazz bassist and vocalist joining us from Los Angeles. Emilie-Clare Barlow will charm her Brockville audience with her jazz interpretation of 60's pop songs from her new CD, The Beat Goes On.
The Heritage Series features small jazz duo, trios and quartets in the warm, intimate settings of charming historic buildings. Rene Gely and Renee Yoxon opens the festival at a free concert at Tait’s Bakery with smooth vocal jazz followed by harmonica wizard Carlos del Junco in the Atrium of the Brockville Courthouse. Cesar Ricardo will warm the Fulford Mansion with his latin jazz vocals. The Mash Potato Mashers bring their funk New Orleans jazz to the First Presbyterian Church.
Dino DiNicolo is back again with his extremely entertaining jazz bass and vocals.
New this year is the gospel jazz concert featuring Huntley Brown at the Centenial Road Church.
