Mark Micklethwaite facilitates.
Jazz Musician Intensive clinics are free and open to the public. The 2018 Jazz Musician Intensive is generously supported by Long & McQuade, the Asper Foundation and the Ken Page Memorial Trust.
Developing the next generation of musicians goes beyond providing performance opportunities: in order to have the best chance at future success, musicians must understand what it means, in broad terms, to be a member of the music industry – beyond mastering their instrument. An understanding of the business of music – building a brand, marketing strategy, networking, manufacturing and licensing – are vital to a musician’s long-term viability, especially given today’s rapidly changing digital and online landscapes.
The Jazz Musician Intensive - a new initiative for the 2018 TD Toronto Jazz Festival - seeks to support developing musicians through two streams of activity: a series of daily clinics covering a variety of topics related to the wider music industry; and a series of daily rehearsals, ultimately culminating in a performance on an official TD Toronto Jazz Festival stage.
Since 1985, Dani Elwell has worked as a Host and Programmer at various radio stations and networks including the CBC, Q107 and CFNY 102.1 . She also taught Radiolab for post grad radio students at Humber College in winter, 2017.
Recently, Dani was Vice President, Creative and a host for JAZZ.FM91 in Toronto. Her show "NIGHTLAB" aired Sunday evenings at 10pm. EST. She also co-hosted a new releases show with Music Director and "Afternoon Drive" host Brad Barker called "First Listen The Program". For more info, go to danielwell.com.
