Whether with Oliver Jones and Charles Biddle or leading his own Jazz Ensemble, Bernard Primeau distinguished himself as a formidable musical force and an inspired and enthusiastic jazz missionary before his passing in October 2006. Today, the Festival salutes its dear old friend and the recipient of the 2005 Oscar Peterson Award with a concert featuring a gallery of musicians including Oliver Jones, Yannick Rieu, Rémi Bolduc, Bill Mahar, André Leroux and others. A musically rich and deeply felt tribute!
