TD Ottawa Jazz Festival 2017

This annual foray into jazz and surrounding genres is one of the biggest draws during Ottawa’s lively festival season. The TD Ottawa Jazz Festival mixes big names from the world of jazz with a number of other inimitable artists. The combination of large outdoor concerts at Confederation Park and smaller, intimate shows at indoor spaces like the National Arts Centre’s Fourth Stage, allows for variety in look and feel during the 11-day festival. 

The 2017 TD Ottawa Jazz Festival features an impressive and eclectic lineup including Feist and Serena Ryder, both Canadian singer-songwriters, as well as British R&B vocalist Joss Stone. Groups include Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires (American soul/funk), Maceo Parker & The Ray Charles Orchestra featuring the Raelettes (big band) and France-based Caravan Palace (electro swing). Country legend Kenny Rogers will perform as part of his final world tour. These are only a few of the many artists featured!
