Happy Birthday, Canada

Today is Canada Day, the celebration of the anniversary of the Constitution Act from 1867, which united two British colonies and a province of the British Empire into the single country of Canada.

Thanks to Canada for providing us with several jazz musicians, including Diana Krall, Oliver Jones, Renee Rosnes, Michael Buble’, Holly Cole, Maynard Ferguson, and of course, Oscar Peterson.
