Toronto Jazz Festival Day One: VERTIGO

Venerable Toronto jazz mainstay The Rex has, for the second year in a row, chosen "Saxophone Summit" as their theme for the jazz festival, lending an enviable cohesiveness to their programming.


The 11pm show last night featuring a roster of young local talents including sax favourite Quinsin Nachoff did not disappoint the standing room only crowd. The compositions were complex rhythmic structures and the overall sound was offbeat without sacrificing accessibility.
