Published Apr 22, 2021
The TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival has announced its 2021 event will take place virtually this summer, and organizers have now revealed who will be playing the 35th annual edition.
From June 25 to July 4, there will be more than 100 virtual concerts, which will arrive as ticketed streams. There also may be a few very limited in-person shows, but it will depend on provincial health orders. All the ticketed livestreams will be available to watch until midnight on July 6.

Artists include critically-acclaimed Snotty Nose Rez Kids on June 25, Vancouver’s queen of neo-soul, Tonye Aganaba, will draw you into her wicked groove on June 29, and jazz-pop chanteuse Jill Barber exploring repertoire in French from her latest album on July 4.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) (Film4, 9pm) OLD-school thrills. Peter Weir’s swashbuckling adventure, adapted from Patrick O’Brian’s novels, is a proper swashbuckler . Captain “Lucky” Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) and the 197 crew of the HMS Surprise are ordered to intercept the French Privateer Acheron and “sink, burn or take her as a prize”. The first altercation between the two vessels leaves Aubrey’s ship badly damaged and many crew injured. Aubrey heads for the Galapagos Islands to replenish supplies while the ship’s doctor, Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany), tries his best to minimise the casualties. Russell Crowe famously took to Twitter to defend the film’s merits when someone dared to criticise it.

Enemy Of The State: Saturday, Sony Movies @ 9pm
A murder is accidentally caught on film and when the evidence is slipped to a lawyer without his knowledge, he finds himself running for his life while trying to uncover a conspiracy that reaches the higher echelons of Washington politics. Will Smith and Tony Scott combine their talents to give us a winning Saturday night watch. It s exciting, it s funny and it all leads to a satisfying climax. Gene Hackman, Regina King, Jason Lee, Lisa Bonet and many many more all do well.
