The Twenty Kilometer Jazz Diet is kickin’ it every thursday night (8-11PM).
Based on the idea of supporting local resources, the Twenty Kilometer Jazz Diet consists of musicians who all reside in the Guelph area. On any given Thursday you could catch any combination of musicians.

All the members of the group are professional musicians who make their living playing and teaching jazz music. Many of them have toured the world playing various music festivals in England, Australia, across the US and Canada. All have attended, graduated or taught at jazz programs in York University, McGill, Humber, Mohawk and University of Toronto.

Each week there will be a feature guest. The feature musicians over the next few weeks are:

Jan. 19th – Jessie Turton   

Jan. 26th – Joni NehRita

Feb. 2nd – Ben Jokela
