Canadian Heritage

About Us

The Sound of Jazz Concert Series was launched under the name Sound of Toronto Concert Series back in 1976, and is still taking place today.

Performances and broadcast interviews were recorded and stored, and as time passed, it became clear that if left untouched, many of the recordings would eventually degrade and a unique treasure trove of Canadian jazz would be lost forever.

The Canadian Jazz Archive Online began, with the generous support of Canadian Heritage, as an effort to restore and preserve these recordings, and then grew into a much larger initiative, one that would make the recordings available to the public via the internet, and that would also provide additional audio, visual and textual materials about the artists and key figures that have shaped the Canadian jazz landscape.

With a selection of concert recordings, artist profiles, in-depth documentaries on iconic Canadian jazz artists, and a comprehensive educational component, the Canadian Jazz Archive Online provides a perspective that is both contemporary and historical in its scope and uniquely Canadian in its flavour.
