“Love Songs and Lullabies” creating modern jazz standards for a new audience and introducing jazz to young parents and their families. Featuring 15 of Toronto’s premiere musicians and 15 of Canada’s top vocalists.
Celebrating more than 50 years performing and being involved in music, Keith Whiting has now turned his creative talent to creating a new album “Lullabies and Love Songs”.
