The Guest List
Thursday December 19th, 2024 with Joe Reilly
Interviews with Petr Cancura of the Ottawa Jazz Festival and Jonathan Chandler of Amos the Transparent

The Guest List is sponsored by Spaceman Music at 388 Gladstone Avenue. It's an independent music store run by musicians. Visit them for all your music making needs! https://www.spacemanmusic.com/ Today we open in conversation with Petr Cancura, the Executive and Artistic Director of the Ottawa Jazz Festival. Petr tells us that he was recently appointed as the full time Executive Director and how he will balance these duties with his work as the Artistic Director. Mostly though, Petr joins us to talk about some of the exciting artists that the Festival just announced will be coming to perform at the Fest in June of 2025. This is an exciting, diverse group of performers and we play music by three of the featured acts.

We talk about the special Christmas show the group is presenting this Saturday (Dec. 21st) at Club SAW. He tells us how the show will be structured this year with a bunch of special guests... and he hints that some unannounced guests may join them as well. Sounds like a blast. We also talk about why the group has not released new music since 2018 and how some new music may be in the making.
