Montreal — Music fans, get ready to celebrate! These three quality concerts raise our expectations sky-high for the 34th edition of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal presented by TD in collaboration with Rio Tinto Alcan, from June 28 to July 7. Music devotees can already fill their
summer calendars with concerts starring the Grande Dame of soul, Aretha Franklin, immortal saxophonist Wayne Shorter, who’ll celebrate his 80th birthday with top-flight guests artists, and brilliant trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, leading the renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Tickets for these shows went on sale Saturday, December 1 at noon.
Aretha Franklin — June 29, 2013 7:30 p.m., Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, PdA (Événements spéciaux TD series) — The “Queen of Soul” is back in Montreal, five years after her first (and to this date, only) stop at the Festival ― a performance that thrilled her many fans. The Queen of Soul returns to serenade us with a collection of immortal songs including Respect, Chain of Fools and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. Given how rarely the Queen takes the stage these days, we’re truly
privileged to have this performance. An absolute musical must!
Wayne Shorter, 80th Birthday Celebration — June 29, 2013 7 p.m., Théâtre Maisonneuve, PdA (Les Grands concerts Rio Tinto Alcan series) — What better way to mark the 80th birthday of legendary saxophonist Wayne Shorter! During this long evening of celebration―over 3 hours of music!―the guest of honour will share the stage with some illustrious friends. As the curtain rises, Joe Lovano and Dave Douglas will present the Sound Prints project. They’ll be followed by the star-studded trio of Geri Allen, Terri Lyne Carrington and Esperanza Spalding. And finally, Mr. Shorter himself takes the stage flanked by his redoubtable quartet, here to thrill us anew after their remarkable comprehensive show at last year’s Festival. It’s an absolutely historic concert event!
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra featuring Wynton Marsalis — June 28, 2013 7 p.m., Maison symphonique de Montréal (Jazz à la Maison symphonique series) — They’re back at the Festival for the first time since the memorable opening concert presented during the 30th edition in 2009! Under the direction of supremely gifted American trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis, the Jazz at
Lincoln Center Orchestra is incontestably one of the most respected big bands on the planet; since the late 1980s, they’ve made a brilliant contribution to jazz by fusing tradition and modernity. Class with a capital C.
