Coastal Jazz and Blues Society has announced the lineup for the 2021 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival with more than 100 virtual events scheduled.
The 35th edition of the annual summer tradition will be live streaming to follow the guidelines set down by the Provincial Health Office. Should there be changes to the small gatherings guidelines, plans are in place to allow for limited in-person attendance at some select events.
Following the cancellation of the 2020 festival and ongoing uncertainty around live performance, organizers felt it best to have everything in place for a vibrant and exciting virtual festival. What is certain is that this year’s event is loaded with the kind of world-class local, national and international jazz music that has made Vancouver’s jazz scene well-known across the world.

Last week, the Monroe County District Attorney’s office announced it had cleared the officers of wrongdoing.
The use of deadly force in this case was justified, according to the DA’s office, because the officers did not know the weapon Hall carried wasn’t lethal, and because he failed to follow officers’ orders. “It’s a testament to the troopers that they didn’t shoot sooner,” said First Assistant District Attorney Michael Mancuso during a press conference.
The family and its supporters reject this decision, saying it amounts to blaming the victim.
“You have a victim of gun violence, police brutality, and you also have a youth that is suffering from mental health [crisis],” said Kim. She connected those circumstances to the death of Walter Wallace, Jr., a Black man with known mental illness who was killed by Philadelphia police last summer.
