WINNIPEG JAZZ ORCHESTRA 1st ANNUAL "FLIP FOR JAZZ" GALA

Swing and sway through three different venues at the Inn at the Forks, listening to everything from smooth jazz to the sounds of big band, as you sip a savory Jazztini's, savour hors d'oeuvres as exquisite as Billie Holiday's voice and desserts as sweet as Norah Jones.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME

The WJO's season finale will be one for the ages! In between performances with his own critically acclaimed quartet, MIGUEL ZENÓN - one of the most exciting saxophonists on the planet - will be a featured guest with the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra. On stage with him is soulful NYC vocalist CYNTHIA SCOTT whose career includes stints with the Ray Charles band and Cab Calloway, among others. With the WJO there to provide the fireworks, this concert promises to raise the collective pulse of all Winnipeg jazz fans!
