The final two Artistic Director's Guide to Jazz - Live! sessions are now online. At each session, Artistic Director Josh Grossman chats with a special guest about a different series of concerts at this year's TD Toronto Jazz Festival. This year's sessions were recorded by Regent Radio. All four sessions are now available online as audio podcasts: Josh chats with Alex Samaras about vocalists; with Larnell Lewis about the influence of R&B; with Bill King about playing solo; and with Margaret Stowe about guitarists.

Speaking of powerful 1-2 punches, the Jane Mallett Theatre plays host to, not two, but three incredible jazz musicians when the Festival kicks off. Don't believe us? Just read some of the quotes these artists have been garnering.
