| The Courthouse: Toronto's Newest Jazz Club Patrick Taylor, jazz impresario and Executive Producer of the TD Canada Trust Toronto Jazz Festival, and Nick DiDonato, Founder and President of Liberty Entertainment Group, announced the opening of Toronto's newest jazz club, Live At The Courthouse. Located at 57 Adelaide Street East, The Courthouse will host live music six nights a week beginning Tuesday, March 20, 2007. The Courthouse will be transformed into an intimate venue designed for jazz sophisticates and music lovers. "The opening week of The Courthouse is a tribute to the Montreal Bistro and Top O' The Senator" states Taylor. "Following in their footsteps, we hope this will become another great home for local and touring artists alike". For DiDonato, this represents an opportunity to present more live music acts to the City of Toronto and obtain some much needed international exposure. "We witnessed the buzz created by acts such as the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Tragically Hip when they performed at the Phoenix Concert Theatre and believe these concerts showcased the City of Toronto's concert and entertainment scene to the world. We hope to receive the same international attention when we create a "world class" jazz club at The Courthouse, an historic Toronto landmark and an ideal venue to present live concerts. By combining a great venue and state-of-the-art sound with one of the greatest jazz promoters, this venue is definitely going to be on the music world's radar screen". To help kick off the opening of The Courthouse, from Tuesday, March 20 to Saturday, March 24, musicians will present a different style of jazz every night to celebrate the rich and diverse talent the city has to offer. A grand opening gala will take place the following week on Thursday, March 29 with special guest performers. Designed to comfortably seat 150 guests, with a capacity to hold over 400, the historic Courthouse features 25' high ceilings, original hardwood floors, four authentic fireplaces and a mezzanine furnished with three iron-laced balconies. In addition, a custom built acoustic stage will be enhanced with a state-of-the-art sound system and a 7' Grand piano. Live At The Courthouse is Toronto's newest home for live music. Continuing in the tradition of the city's great clubs, Live at The Courthouse will present the best in local and international entertainment. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
