phorbesie Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 lots of good stuff! montrealjazzfest.com i'm especially psyched for opening night SALIF KEITA - VIEUX FARKA TOURÉ DOUBLE BILL Mali takes centre stage with two of its major artists: Salif Keita, global star of African music, intense political activist, friend of the Festival, recipient of the Carlos Jobim Award in 2006, creator of the brilliant M'Bemba; followed by Vieux Farka Touré, son of the legendary Ali Farka Touré, a singerguitarist inspired by the talent and charisma of his father who knows how to move us with his elegant Saharan blues.

Blane Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 got tix for that one, the Keb Mo/Taj Mahal, and Orchestra Baobab coming. Also might do Ghislain Poirier with De La Soul, cause that'll be a friggin' party.outdoor shows still to come, so hopefully there are a few goodies in there.

bagochips Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Salif Keita is also playing the Ottawa Jazz Fest on June 25th.I'll take Confederation Park over Metropolis for this one. That said, it conflicts with Tim Berne who is playing the NAC 4th stage at the same time. Edited May 14, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted May 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 i hate the ottawa jazz festival website so much.i'm sure the tickets will be less than 50$ each (as per montreal) but i can't find out easily from the site. i like metropolis though. i think i'll still hit that one up.

Groove Fetish Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 we'll be gone during this but the "return to forever" comeback concert would be fantastic to see I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorgnor Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just booked our fest...De La Soul - Ghislain Poirer Double bill, Mistuer Valaire on saturday, Ayo on sunday (and maybe a late show?), and PUBLIC ENEMY on moday followed by Love Trio w/ U-Roy... too bad we have to leave at the beginning of the week. Probably catch some of the free stuff too, we'll see. Any body going to be around there then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
