Velvet Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I got lucky calling Tom Petty for Bluesfest this year so I'll give it a try with jazzfest too: I see King Crimson is in Montreal on July 3rd. Could be they're booked for Ottawa Jazzfest on the 2nd? bouche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 There's a new (super)group called "Hudson" (drummer Jack DeJohnette, bassist Larry Grenadier, keyboardist John Medeski and guitarist John Scofield) https://www.jambase.com/article/hudson-supergroup-announces-2017-tour-dates They're playing in Saratoga Springs, NY on June 25; Toronto, ON on June 29; and Montreal, QC on June 30. I hope they'll be in Ottawa, maybe between Saratoga and Toronto. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed. Related: for people who are interested in this kind of thing (I certainly am) their rider is publicly available on their website. Nothing too crazy, but I was surprised to see that Medeski doesn't travel with any of his own keyboards (at least not for this group) and DeJohnette only travels with his own cymbals.

Freak By Night Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Tears for Fears and/or Hall & Oates. Though neither are jazz, they just announced a co-headlining summer tour with dates in the area around the time of the Ottawa Jazzfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without googling I think the average person could name way more H&O song titles than T4F songs, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
