GRJS Jazz Room

We've had a number of inquiries from people about the ongoing pandemic situation, and changes to provincial policies. For the time being The Grand River Jazz Society has decided to continue with the safety policies previously put in place.

This weekend's Jazz Room shows are both SOLD OUT but that doesn't mean you have to stay home! Head to St. Jacobs for three magical nights of music: All That (Worldly) Jazz! Go to nerudaarts.ca #worldmusic #stjacobs #waterlooregion #musicfestival #jazzfestival

Check out this neat program: How to Listen to Jazz: A Guided Listening Adventure This workshop is perfect for people new to jazz and for more experienced listeners who are interested in getting the “play by play” from two seasoned rhythm section players. ow.ly/t6x950Dqnj6
