Toronto Jazz Festival4

I met lots of great musicians.
I realized that Canada's people really like Jazz again.
Culb Django
They play gypsy style music.
Accidentally another gypsy style busker's carriage
comes around the stage at the Greek town.

Cimarron
They played cuban salsa jazz mixture.
The host player is guitarist & vocalist
It's rare case in this style music.

John Pizzarelli
I was waiting for his performance.
He is amazing guitarist & vocalist.
He plays bothe of them at the same time
as if he has two brains.
I was inspired his guitar, voice, and talking.

Ann Hampton Callaway & Diva Big Band
Diva Big Band means girls only big band.
I've never seen.
They performed 3 instrumental songs.
Then Vocalist Ann Hampton appeared.
She has long lange brilliant voice.
I was surprised that the big band has
one Japanese pianist named Tomoko Ohno.

So I'm waiting for next Jazz festival on july21 to 30.
Around toronto has Jazz festival every month till September.
It's a crazy city. I like it.
