TD EDMONTON INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL 2017

MESSAGE FROM TD and around the world. Framed by the unique ambience of the Prairies, Edmonton is the perfect place to experience great music.

Music is one of many ways that TD makes life more comfortable for customers and communities across Canada. And what better way to help people come together than to share in the love of music at major music festivals from coast to coast.

We all know that music is the universal language.

That’s the magic of the Jazz Festival, an event that’s meaningful to everyone in a different way.

It’s intensely personal. You can hear music or a song and be transferred back to a specific point in time, to a life event or even to an emotion.

TD Bank Group is pleased to bring you the 2017 TD Edmonton International Jazz Festival, a world-class event celebrating the diversity and entertainment of music by talented artists from Canada

Those attempting to describe Mario Rom’s INTERZONE seem to be looking constantly for superlatives. After a concert at the famed Rochester Jazz Festival in New York, the festival’s main critic called them “easily one of the most entertaining and scintillating acts at this year’s festival. I have yet to hear a group of musicians – anywhere – with a more serious sense of play.”
