All That Jazz Fest

As summer begins to roll into Ottawa, the music scene is quickly getting heated up, and you know what that means: festival season! One of the first large-scale festivals to take place in the capital is the annual Jazz Festival. With this in mind, we surf the jazzy waves and give them our own "personal touch!" In other words, we go back to when the Ottawa Jazz Festival first came to be and dance our way through other artists and historical tidbits that define jazz in Canada and beyond!
