Hiromi – The Trio Project: Japanese jazz genius, Hiromi,is one the world’s true musical wonders. Though the term “virtuoso”might be an understatement for this 33 year old, beyondher dazzling chops are highly emotional motivations. Untilrecently she has been a soloist, but as on her new album, Voice,for this performance she summons two sensational sidemen:bassist Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips. Boundto be unforgettable. Opening act: the acclaimed, rebellious trioThe Bad Plus, with special guest Joshua Redman. June 24 at8pm, Mainstage, Nathan Phillips Square, .50.!!2. Esperanza Spalding Radio Music SocieTY: Supremelytalented bassist, composer and vocalist Spalding recently becamethe first jazz artist in history to win the Best New ArtistGrammy award, beating out Bieber and Drake, and giving us allhope (incidentally, the meaning of her name!) A cross betweenjazz and pop, Esperanza’s original music is whimsical and intelligentat the same time – a rarity. Vocalist Gretchen Parlatoopens the show. June 28 at 8pm, Mainstage, Nathan PhillipsSquare, .50.!!3. Jackie Richardson & Russ LiTTle Trio wiTH Guests:This woman is a national treasure: a larger-than-life entertainerwhose magical voice, depth of feeling and incomparablestage presence belie her genuine modesty. Four shows,each with a special guest: June 22 with daughter, vocalist KimRichardson; June 23 with saxophonist Colleen Allen; June 29with saxophonist Alex Dean; June 30 with vocalist HeatherBambrick. All shows at The Old Mill’s Home Smith Bar, 7:30-10:30pm, Cover, no reservations.!!4. The Jivebombers: Tight arrangements, impassionedsolos, Hawaiian shirts and contagious laughter – I can’t think ofa group that has more fun on stage than this nine-piece all-staroutfit, led by trombonist John Karpenko, with Alex Dean, BobBrough and Johnny Johnson, saxophones, Brigham Phillips,trumpet, Del Dako, vibes, Gord Sheard, piano, Al Henderson,bass, Curtis Smith, drums, and special guest vocalists. The Rex,June 22, 5pm.!!5. Jim Galloway Trio: Born in Scotland and a Torontoniansince 1964, world famous soprano saxophonist Jim Galloway isalso the festival’s recently retired founding artistic director andof course, The WholeNote’s own Jazz Notes columnist. Oldschoolswing that’s infectious in the best possible way. June 30at 2pm, Distillery District, Trinity Stage, Free. (note: Gallowaywill also interview several artists as part of the “Inside Track,”presented by the Ken Page Memorial Trust. See listings sectionD,“The ETCeteras,” under Interviews.)For further information on the jazz fest, visit www.torontojazz.com.
