We Are Closed for the Montreal Jazz Festival.

I too float on air by the sound of the saxophone! Below, you will see my post-festival debrief.

A black man playing the saxophone with his head thrown back and hat falling. The man looks like he is levitating.

Here are the highlights of my jazz fest. I attended these ticketed and free shows.

  • LA RÉVOLUTION HAÏTIENNE À TRAVERS LA TRADITION DU JAZZ (the last 15 minutes)
  • Chief Adjuah (Formerly Christian Scott)
  • Lakecia Benjamin
  • Robert Glasper
  • Keyon Harold and Jason Moran
  • Theo Abellard Trio
  • Norah Jones
  • Thee Sacred Souls (They are coming to Toronto in October!)
  • Moneka Arabi Jazz
  • Charlotte Day Wilson (The rain was awful!)

I thoroughly enjoyed the music, the city, the vibe everything as I always do. During the festival, everything was good in the world. Essentially, I was singing “What a wonderful world“.

I returned to Ontario a new person. 😉
