But thanks to the support and resilience of musicians, fans, volunteers, donors, corporate sponsors and government agencies, we once again provided ten exciting days of jazz, with a full slate of performances throughout the city, featuring musicians from around the world. We look forward to the 2011 festival – our 25th anniversary – and I am excited to see where the music will take us next. We’re glad to have you along for the ride; your support will help to keep jazz vital – and resilient – for years to come. Sincerely, Josh Grossman Artistic Director Did You Know?

Nikki Yanofsky . 6 . 7 Spirit of Family & Community The roots of jazz run deep in Toronto, and so does the Festival’s involvement in the community. After 24 years, the TD Toronto Jazz Festival has grown to become the city’s largest music festival, touching neighbourhoods across the city and music lovers everywhere. Every year for ten days starting in late June, the community gathers to celebrate the arts through the sounds of jazz. Programming and initiatives are carefully selected to engage an audience that goes beyond just the music. New for 2010 included a focus on youth and education, environmentally friendly additives like the mobile H20 2GO truck and some good old fashion ragtime busking performed by no other than a six foot striped skunk and furry pink gorilla. The Jazz Festival always offers something new to bring people together and foster the spirit of community. Elicser & Mediah, Groove & Graffiti Expo CANADA DAY Nathan Phillips Square was the perfect place to celebrate Canada Day with friends, and family as local MC, hip-hop turntablist Buck 65 rocked the outdoor stage with a free afternoon concert. The Paul Read Orchestra kicked off the festivities at noon with a rousing edition of O Canada, featuring an ensemble of some of the most talented jazz musicians in Toronto. What better way to showcase Canadian pride than with the nation’s finest! “Slip on your double- breasted suit, warm up those snapping fingers, and soft-shoe it over to a jazzy Canada Day filled with scatting, bebop and diatonic scales.” - Metro .

    From the Top at Carnegie Hall Episode 10: “Music Is Where the Heart Is” Airing on PBS (check local TV listings) Available online at pbs.org Learning Activity Title: We’ll Improvise Description: Students will watch an inspired jazz-style performance of “Old MacDonald” and then try improvising on their favorite children’s songs. Grade Level: 5-8 National Music Standards: 3 Improvising melodies, variations and accompaniments; 6 Listening to, analyzing and describing music Background This episode includes two jazz-inspired classical pieces and one jazz version of a familiar children’s song, “Old MacDonald” by fourteen-year-old jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky. One of the major identifying characteristics of jazz is improvisation: using the written score as a guide and making up your own variations on the music. Nikki sings “scat” during her performance. Scat singing, in which a performer uses non-word sounds or nonsense syllables to improvise rhythms and melodies, is the hallmark of jazz vocal improvisation. Classical musicians improvise, too, but usually only where the composer has indicated that a cadenza is called for. The cadenza gives the performer a chance to exhibit his or her range, technique, and musicality. Nikki Yanofsky sings “Old MacDonald” onstage at Carnegie Hall Jazz is a truly American musical genre, with its roots in the music that African slaves brought with them to North America as captives. Emerging in the late 1800s as a distinct style, jazz drew on musical forms such as field songs, spirituals, the blues, and ragtime, with both African and European influences. The lively, energetic, and free-form qualities associated with jazz, and especially its distinctive and strong rhythms, have made it popular all over the world.
