Northern Wish Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED IN OTTAWA!! From the Citizen: Gil Scott-Heron coming to 2010 Ottawa jazzfest By phum Mon, Jun 14 2010 COMMENTS(0) Jazzblog.ca Filed under: 2010 Ottawa International Jazz Festival, Gil Scott-Heron The jazz-influenced poet/performer/singer and father of hip-hop will play Confederation Park on June 23, joining the lineup of free music that also includes the Max Weinberg Big Band and Street Drum Corps. I'm waiting to hear the order of performers, but if you ask me, pride of place should go to Scott-Heron. Edited June 15, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chameleon Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 AMAZING! GIl-Scott Heron is a lyrical genius and his new album is killer too. Glad to see his prison problems are behind him. Here's hoping he makes it to Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagochips Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Gil Scott-Heron will be taking the stage at 7:30, followed by Max Weinberg Big Band at 9:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 apparently he's still a bit of a complex figure in music... he abandoned his new album halfway through citing he wasn't feeling it. It was released anyway in a shorter format.I'd love to bring this guy to Toronto, love to hear the reviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
