2004 Ottawa International Jazz Festival
by John Kelman
For eleven days in late June, the traditionally conservative government capital of Ottawa, Canada became a place where risk was de rigeur and chances were liberally taken.

Montreal
by Ken Franckling
Several blocks from the fuss and hype of the headlining acts at the Montreal International Jazz Festival resides one of the festival's great developments through the years. Club Soda, a rather intimate shoebox of a room holding 550 people on three seating levels, is home to an early evening singers' series appropriately called “Voix du Monde" ...
