Why: Several years ago we had an amazing time at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, wandering among numerous stages seeing bands from a wide range of genres. We’ve been meaning to go back but have not had a chance yet, but with the pandemic lockdown, anyone and everyone can attend this year’s digital edition. From June 27 to 30, the fest will go virtual at 6:00 each night, presenting five live acts, followed by archival festival performances by Oscar Peterson and Oliver Jones, Jaco Pastorius, Miles Davis, and Sarah Vaughan. Among the live standouts from all around the world are Bïa, Charlotte Cardin, Fredy V. & the Foundation, and the Barr Brothers. Below is the complete schedule.
