I finally got to reading about the line-up at this year's Montreal Jazz Fest. About time, since the newspaper was dated May 8th! The concerts listed were the pay ones, and the shows are probably sold out by now (the festival starts on the 27th) but they make for an interesting view of where the organizers are going: They open with Herbie Hancock and a tribute to John Coltrane and Miles Davis, two jazz legends in their own right. Jack DeJohnette (his son was a member of the band Me, Mom and Morgantaler) also has a show, and there'll be a celebration of Dave Brubeck's 80th birthday too. Then we get the "Huh?" stuff: a show with Grammy Hip Hop winner Lauren Hill, and another show with Peter Gabriel - artists with nothing whatsoever to do with the jazz field. In other words, the line-up is par for the course. Posted by Jeff Boman on Wednesday, June 12, 2002 | link me Seymour!

Site Officiel - Festival International de Jazz de Montréal.- Official Site
The festival starts earlier this year... and it's the 25th anniversary too.
I don't know if I'll get to take advantage of it - even if I'll be able to attend this year! - but I'll definitely buy my "Friend of the Festival" card/CD. I missed it entirely last year; don't want that to happen 2 years in a row.

I linked to the old version of this site, before it got its own domain.
The language can be harsh, but this is from a fellow Canadian, and a fellow former Atari computer user. Those two facts make it link-worthy.
