A look at the Ottawa Winter Jazz Festival with the astonishing musician Colin Stetson.

The Ottawa Jazz Festival's mini Winter Festival starts today and runs until Saturday. Despite its small size, it has some incredible offerings, a particular highlight for me is the incredible musical explorer Colin Stetson who is playing two shows, a duo Friday night with the fellow traveller Mats Gustaffson and a solo show Saturday evening. His music is wide ranging and extraordinarily eclectic, Today we will hear his exceptional transcription of Henryk Gorecki's awe-inspiring 3rd Symphony. https://ottawajazzfestival.com/winter-jazz/ https://ottawajazzfestival.com/artists/colin-stetson-owjf/

The great Russian pianist and conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy has announced his retirement from the stage, aged 82, after giving nearly 7 decades of himself to music. We hear him in a wonderful 1961 live recording of Prokofiev's ferocious 2nd piano concerto from 1923.

BLAST! I just cannot pull off OWJF 2020. Yes, Colin Stetson is JAW DROPPING live! Got to see him, multiple, at JazzFest last summer, along with Sarah Sarah Neufeld too. No idea how he pulls it off. Extremely intense physically, for sure. Perhaps I shall try my skills at double-breathing a giant sax, and let you know how it goes -- report in next week, if I do not drop dead trying?! ;^)

That's too bad, I will definitely have to juggle chainsaws to make it to the concert, but I really really want to.
