Sign in to disble this ad
Just wondering if any of you guys (and gals) are planning on going to see some shows. They have quite a lineup this year. 5 Pat Metheny shows, Enrico Rava, Randy Weston, Zakir Hussain and John McLaughlin, Bill Frisell, Dewey Redman, Paolo Fresu, Clarke-Ponty-Fleck, Charlie Haden, Bobby McFerrin, Dave Holland Big Band, Toots, Roy Hargrove, Sonny Rollins...
I plan on seeing a Metheny show (proabably 80/81 with Redman), Enrico Rava with his quintet, Eric Longsworth with Sylvain Luc, and maybe Bill Frisell and Dave Holland.
How about you guys? |

Also considering Sonny Rollins. There is also a hip-hop group called Automato that sounds interesting. Can't wait  |

Stephen Barry (4th year in a row), Jimmy James (who's always at Kitts music), and Jazzin's band. You'll always find a sleeper hit playing a free show, like Los De Abajo who played an amazing show last year. |

The band on before them promises to be good. Michel Donato on bass and Paul Brochu (from UZEB) are in the lineup. |

I would have killed to see Francesca Gagnon, Francine Poitras, and Matthieu Lavoie all up on the same stage. |

How did it go? (Sorry I missed it. I was in the Laurentides). |
