The 20th anniversary of the TD Canada Trust profiles a wide range of performers that will cater not only to jazz fans but also to those who like music that is out of the mainstream. That means not only jazz that breaks free of boundaries, but also music with flavours from other countries as well as some hip-hop. Take a look at the list below, and to be sure, there is much more. Tickets which are now on sale are available from Ticketmaster (416) 870-8000 or .www.ticketmaster.ca. For detailed listings, more clubs shows and free concerts visit www.torontojazz.com.
