The Final Gala of the London Jazz Festival will be held on International Jazz Day! Be sure to get your free tickets for this limited seating event featuring the Seth McNall Sextet with special guest performers*.
As a passion project to expand the horizons of small group jazz in the London area, Seth McNall initially formed his Sextet as an avenue to perform the music and arrangements of the late Joe Edmonds, a mentor to countless musicians around Southwestern Ontario. Since then, the Seth McNall Sextet has evolved into a working group that is dedicated to performing original music and arrangements written by the group members themselves. Truly a collective pursuit, the band carries on the tradition of bebop, cool, and hard-bop jazz with a focus on improvisation and creativity. With an ear to the past and an eye on the future, the Seth McNall Sextet takes audiences on a journey to what “jazz” means today.
