Wild Rose Jazz has been performing and
promoting jazz in a variety of styles, both

the border since their inception in 1984.
The members of the group all share a common
element: “energy and fun”. Wherever they
perform, their enthusiasm never fails to

It would be impossible to think of the
Calgary jazz scene without their vocalist
