Day 4 delivered a powerful mix of legacy and innovation 🎷🔥

Bob James and Hiromi’s Sonicwonder took over the OLG Main Stage in Confederation Park with two standout sets, Bob James with signature smooth, timeless jazz, and Hiromi with explosive, high-intensity fusion that pushed the night forward.

Leenalchi, the Korean band blending traditional p’ansori vocal techniques with modern bass-driven groove, transformed the Elgin Street Stage into a hypnotic, high-energy experience that had the crowd fully locked in.

From stage to stage, downtown Ottawa moved through music, food, and summer atmosphere all day and night.

Day 3 saw thousands gather in Confederation Park for another unforgettable day at the Ottawa Jazz Festival ✨🎷

Headliner Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra brought charm, humour, and Hollywood flair to the OLG Stage, while the Elgin Street Stage kept the music going with standout performances from Jermaine Holmes and The Soul Rebels.

Inside the NAC, Joe Farnsworth’s Big Room Quartet delivered an exceptional evening of straight-ahead jazz for a packed house.

From packed stages and unforgettable performances to great food, drinks, and summer vibes across the grounds, Day 3 was one to remember.
