Now Magazine listed my picks today for Toronto festival but chose to leave out two of them. Here is the full list I submitted!

check it out! tp

Nimmons N Nine plus 6, June 20, noon, Nathan Phillips Square

This man and this moment are so important in the history of Canadian Jazz music.

Wayne Shorter, June 24 Nathan Philips Square

If you don't know then don't go. (leave the ticket for a fan who would sleep out to get them!)

Reg Schwager Quartet, June 25, Nathan Phillips Square

A rare opportunity to hear one of my favourite guitar players lead a band.

NOJO with Sam Rivers, June 26, 5pm, Nathan Phillips Square

How could you miss a Sam Rivers show that has free admission?

David Mott Quintet June 26, 630pm, Music Gallery (late addition)

Toronto's best kept secret that everybody knows about.

Runcible Spoon, June 26, 630 pm, The Rex

Their shows always make me happy. (so close to Music Gallery you could do both!)

Eric Boeren Quartet, June 26, 830pm, Goethe Institut

Han Bennink on drums, Wilbert Dejoode on bass, Dutch treat!
