Legendary Grammy award-winning crew The Roots are one of the best-known and most respected hip-hop acts in the biz. Prolific and progressive, they were named one of the greatest live bands around by Rolling Stone and serve as the official house band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Forsaking usual hip-hop protocol, they’re endlessly creative, whether performing their own material or via numerous collaborations.
The Roots Picnic, a yearly star-studded mix of musicians, has become a celebrated institution, and most recently, they’re working on animated live-action and animated children’s series in partnership with Amazon. The Roots have gone platinum, gold, and they bring the house down every time.
Further details regarding the 2019 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival will be made available soon. Visit Coastal Jazz & Blues Society online for updates.
