Michel Bonin
from Vancouver
will attend this concert:
As far as I am concerned, Osby is the real 'all-star' pick for this 33rd edition of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. Go listen and you will know what I mean! For those of Northeast Asian origin who may come to read this, Zaldivar is likely an unknown at least in China, South Korea and among the jazz savvy fans in Japan. He is also a stranger to me but not to the well-acquainted aficionados on the now rejuvenated jazz scene in Montreal. With places like 'Le Balmoral' and 'l'Astral', the 'quartier des spectacles' has turned the jazz scene into full year-round effervescence in this Quebec metropolis.This selection is being published in Japanese, Chinese and Korean through Japan Advertising, publisher of CanadaJournal.com. They are not in a particular order of appreciation but presented chronologically as they appear in the official program. My selctions can also be viewed in English on my own blog at www.michelbonin.com/blog and accessed through my tweets @pianoreflexions.
