Alex Bird and the Jazz Mavericks
Christmas Show

Bird was adopted from Romania and came to Canada at six weeks old. He literally grew up with the classics. Starting at the age of two, he was taken to hang around the Toronto Jazz scene and had the opportunity to see and meet many of the greats along the way: Tony Bennett, Diana Krall, Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Mel Tormé, Ray Charles…the list goes on.

Without even knowing it, his musical training developed, sitting around at smoky Jazz clubs into the wee small hours of the morning. Bird resides in Toronto, Ontario. On July 1st, 2026, Bird was announced as a host of his own show on JAZZ.FM91, called “I’m Old Fashioned”.
