TD EDMONTON INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL
TARA KANNANGARA QUINTET YARDBIRD SUITE SERIES | SET 1: 2:00PM | SET 2: 3:30PM TICKETS: $23 PER SET | TWO SETS FOR $36 TARA KANNANGARA: VOCALS & TRUMPET | COLIN STORY: GUITAR CHRIS PRUDEN: PIANO | JULIAN ANDERSON-BOWES: BASS MACKENZIE LONGPRE: DRUMS Trying to categorize Tara’s diverse sound is a difficult proposition. Her preferred tag is “groove-based indie jazz,” as her sound includes elements of melodic indie pop seamlessly meshed with fresh jazz grooves. Similarly, the mellow feel of her trumpet playing neatly complements the subtle nuances of her unaffected vocal style. Tara’s group was awarded the 2016 Julian Award for excellence in emerging Canadian jazz artists and her debut album, Some Version of the Truth, has been nominated for a 2016 Juno Award for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year.
