JAZZ.FM91 - Canada's Premier Jazz Station

JAZZ.FM91 is much more than a radio station. In addition to being Canada’s premier jazz radio station, JAZZ.FM91 is a listener-supported, registered charity. JAZZ.FM91 is committed to supporting the jazz community .

These are some of our community outreach projects:

• 

  TC3 Jazz Camp
  JAZZ.FM91 works with educational institutions to provide striving young students with opportunities to gain experience in music and broadcasting. We also assist community groups such as the Regent Park School of Music and the TC3 Jazz Camp of Scarborough, and not for profit organizations that offer music instruction to youth from marginalized neighborhoods to help young children achieve their dreams of becoming musicians.
• The JAZZ.FM91 Toronto Youth Big Band is currently in rehearsals. Students from across the city have come together at JAZZ.FM91 to rehearse with a renowned jazz educator, and perform throughout the year. Uniforms and instruments are provided, and participation of youth from marginalized areas is expressly encouraged.
• The station broadcasts the finest jazz documentaries from the BBC, as well as producing our own on the jazz icons of Canada. This year, 10 new documentaries will feature Canadian jazz giants such as Jane Bunnett, Rob McConnell, Vic Vogel, Renee Rosnes, and Moe Koffman.
