JAZZY BRANTFORD

The Ross Wooldridge Band with guest vocalist Alex Pangman

 The 5th TD Brantford International Jazz Festival is off and running. It's something the city should be very proud of. Brantford isn't the first place you think of when international jazz is mentioned, but that is changing. It's well run, relaxing, filled with great musical acts.

The Legendary Live Band - Local legends at that

Swing Shift Big Band with Larisa Renee on vocal.

How often do you get to see a real live Big Band, these days?

Some of the large, enthusiastic crowd of jazz lovers.

And the architecture in Brantford still blows me away. It has a European look in some parts. A few examples, above and below.

 

Then there are funky areas also...

Going back for more on Sunday. The Shuffle Demons and Buckwheat Zydeco. Jazzy!
