Velvet Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I don't think it's really meant to be announced yet (remember last year they accidentally put the Robert Plant info on their website early?), but there will be three nights of Dave Holland, in addition to the two shows already announced (Esperanza Spalding Radio Music Society June 27 and Chris Botti and the National Arts Centre Orchestra June 29).http://ottawajazzfestival.com/index.php/artists/Much of the Montreal Jazzfest has been announced, which generally gives a good hint towards the Ottawa lineup.

Velvet Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Given the rabid interest in this topic I would be remiss if I didn't point out that they are trickling the lineup bit by bit.Brian Blade and David Sanchez will also be playing (not together).

RobL Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 nice so far, i read an article that said their was a lot of comment about having rock acts last year so they are going to try and get back to their jazz roots. Was talking to the jazzfest guys alot this year. And told them to book marco and garage a trois. They said forsure they loved them. Spoke to marco's manager via email recently and they said offer was put on the table then taken back saying they didn't want them anymore. What the f#%k jazzfest. I still love you. But what the f#$k !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Dave Holland is a god. Too bad he's not playing with his usual quintet; they are amazing. Still, all three of the dates on here look delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I've been wondering what I'll be missing since I noticed the Roger Waters show falls during jazzfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipzoso Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Any chance we'll know Jazz Fest lineup by Friday? Patrick Watson just announced to play the Montral one and I'm wondering if that may also indicate a Jazz or Bluesfest appearance? Therefore I'd hold off on tickets or not...hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobL Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Steve Martin - an Evening of Bluegrass and BanjoPublic Event · By Ottawa Jazz Festival Tuesday, June 26, 2012 7:00pm until 10:30pm Steve Martin, is one of the most diversified performers in the entertainment industry today equally at home on stage with his backing band the Steep Canyon Rangers as on the film set of some of the most popular movies of recent film history. Martin released his second full length GRAMMY-nominated bluegrass album Rare Bird Alert on Rounder Records in 2011 following up his GRAMMY-award winning 2009 release The Crow. He will be joined by the Steep Canyon Rangers, who toured extensively with Martin over the last year. Rare Bird Alert features 13 new Martin-penned tracks, including a live version of “King Tut,†and was produced by Tony Trishka. Paul McCartney and The Dixie Chicks make special guest vocal appearances on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I'm really looking forward to Robert Cray Band (June 21); I've been a fan of his for years, and he puts on a great show. The Barr Brothers (also June 21) will be amazing, too.Brian Blade's Fellowship Band (June 22), Slim Moore (June 23), Ziggy Marley (June 26), Steve Martin And The Steep Canyon Rangers (June 26), Bill Frisell Plays John Lennon (June 27), By The Way (featuring Wayne Eagles, June 28 at lunch), Jack DeJohnette (June 28), Mingus Big Band (June 28), and Daryl Hall (June 30) also loom large in what I'm looking forward to seeing.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I'll recommend Marc Ribot to y'all.
