Warming up for the Ottawa Jazz Festival, 2015, 35th edition!! Coming to a great outdoors (and some indoors) venue near you! Jun 18 - Jul 1 2015, at Confederation Park and nearby mini-sites, as well as indoors at NAC (mostly for extra $$). We'll hear from several past performers, lots of new and returning ones for this year, and hopefuls for some day. Plus related. Enjoy!! Get out for lots of live music over the summer!

Thanks S-A. Yeah, one of the best things about JazzFest is discovering things you never knew about ... but blow your mind! Some of those coming up in final set.

very much so!!! I volunteer with OJF--best way to really get involved and see the shows, meet jazz-minded people and yes make numerous musical discoveries. Too many things to see at once!!! Always necessitates a trip into the CD tent. Liked the Pink Martine song.

Black Dub is (was) a TOTALLY STELLAR line-up put together by Daniel Lanois. Trixie Whitley's vocals and Brian Blade rock solid "invisible" drums in particular. I REALLY hope this lineup gets together again some day. Just totally mind-melting live....
