One of Toronto's most exciting big bands, Toronto Jazz Orchestra, performing everything from classic swing to contemporary big band sounds, joins forces with vocalist Heather Bambrick, a Canada National Jazz Award recipient and Juno nominee.
The 18-piece Toronto Jazz Orchestra (TJO) was created in 1998 to perform music by some of the most important composers in jazz – writers like Thad Jones, Bob Brookmeyer, Phil Nimmons, Rob McConnell and more. Over the past 24 years, their repertoire has evolved to include compositions and arrangements ranging from classic swing tunes to the leading edge of contemporary jazz, with an emphasis on Canadian composers and arrangers. The TJO seeks to educate, entertain, and increase the public’s understanding and appreciation of big band jazz.
JUNO-nominated vocalist Heather Bambrick prides herself on being an entertainer through and through. From her skillful, effortless interaction with audiences, to the variety and breadth of her material, Heather approaches every aspect of her performances with the goal of leaving audiences feeling far better after her shows than before they arrived. This is why her concerts have been described as what happens when “Ella Fitzgerald meets Carol Burnett at a Newfoundland kitchen party”.

Tight, swinging and passionate, the TJO have clearly spent their time rehearsing these demanding charts to make them sing. Even the high register trumpet lines come off well executed, phrased with finesse and attention to every articulation mark.
