Jazz Festival Starts Monday in Calgary

Jazz Stains, CJSW 90.9 FM, June 19 2009

Calgary Jazz Fest starts on the 22nd of June!  Go see some shows.  I know everyone is all excited about Sled Island, but try to make it out to some of the Jazz shows and support venues you don’t normally go to.  There’s some stuff coming this year that’s as good as SI.  This is my last Jazz Fest Feature, as I’m off to MTL for their jazzfest next week.  When I get back, I’ll do a recap show of all the great acts I got to see there.

Also, try to check out Out of Context 3 at Artlife as part of Sled Island: Friday June 26th at 8pm.
