Jazz Station

Dec 1st, 2021

Canada's #1 Jazz Station Jazz FM91.1 has an annual Christmas Drive during the month of November where they campaign on behalf of a school in the GTA for donations in the form of old or unused instruments from their listeners. After the instruments are received those in need of repair are restored by Long and McQuade then they are awarded to the school.

We truly appreciate this much needed generous gift. A special thanks goes out to JazzFM91.1, their listeners and the folks at Long & McQuade
