Because jazz takes place during the Festival but also the rest of the year, introducing Ziggy Marley, Harry Manx, Marianne Trudel and Karen Young, and Anoushka Shankar, who will enhance the Jazz All-Year Round program.
This year, the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal highlights the exceptional contributions to music made by George Thorogood, Zakir Hussain, Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, Renee Rosnes, Ben Harper and Ry Cooder.
It is with great pleasure that we learn Alain Simard and André Ménard have a new honour to add to their list of achievements and are now members of the Ordre des arts des lettres du Québec.
