Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM) is a music festival held every April in Canada and the United States, in honor of jazz as an early American art form. In order to celebrate the long history of this music so dearly beloved by this band, the DBBB is bringing a FREE family friendly show to City Hall.
Admission will be entirely on a first come, first serve basis as this is a non-ticketed event. Get ready to thrill to some of your favourite memories in this show designed for children from 3 to 93, as the DBBB takes on some hit themes from favourite cartoons! This project is supported by the Edmonton Arts Council, the City of Edmonton, and the Edmonton Downtown Business Association.
