This week The Jazz Voyager is on his way to Hogtown country to check out a venue that was the dream of Sean Pascale to bring to his audiences the mavericks who are reinventing the music scene in Toronto. The Poetry Jazz Cafe is this dream inspired by the film The Commitments and with mood identity that promotes a tone of voice aimed to provoke.
Located at 224 Augusta Ave, Toronto, ON M5T 2L6, Canada, images of jazz greats decorate this cozy cocktail bar with a back patio that hosts live music. Winter hours has the club closed Sunday and Monday but are open for provocative conversation and music from 4:30 pm to 2:00 am for the rest of the week.
This sojourn this voyager is going to see what the live maverick performance of Cynthia Tauro is giving the world. The club has an extensive cocktail menu, however, there is no mention of food so you might want to eat before you arrive.
