A full house at l'Alliance française de Toronto this past November, celebrating the Centenary of the First World War and the introduction of jazz to the French, thanks to African-American soldiers who brought it with them via the trenches. Our set was mostly in French, celebrating jazz in Canada's two official languages. Please go to my "video" page for a sample tune from that night.
Merci encore une fois à la communauté francophone et francophile de Toronto!
