One Jazz Great and One Hip-Hop Supergroup TD Halifax Jazz Festival's Line Up Is Starting to Add Up!
A new round of big name headliners has been announced by JazzEast for the TD Halifax Jazz Festival, July 6-14, 2012. Sweet-voiced, smooth guitarist John Pizzarelli and space themed, hip-hop greats Deltron 3030 have been added to the list, making summer in Atlantic Canada look much brighter...and closer!
Across the world, music fans are celebrating one of the most innovative art forms--jazz!--and JazzEast is proud to include Halifax in this international celebration, Jazz Appreciation Month.
On Wednesday, March 28 at the opening night of JazzEast's Out like a Lion music festival, Artistic Director, Laura 'Lulu' Healy, announced to a surprised audience the move of the JazzEast office to Gottingen, just down the street from the night's venue, The Company House.
As a part of the Out like a Lion interview series, I sent a few questions to our local trio of heroes: bassist Tom Easley, guitarist Jeff Torbert, and drummer Mark Adam. They are performing together on the opening night of the Lion, and I wanted to hear more about their connection with E.S.T. and each other.
Three TD Halifax Jazz Festival Concerts Are Up For Sale
JazzEast feels good and it shows in its first rush of concert releases. Three TD Halifax Jazz Festival artists have been announced to the public and based on their collective energy, there will be heat in Halifax this summer!
“Our first release always gives music fans a peak at what we have in store for them,” says Laura ‘Lulu’ Healy, JazzEast’s Artistic Director. “This year, the promise is heat!”
Everyone at JazzEast is spinning with joy over the latest announcement by Jubilee Swing Orchestra. Carmen Townsend is their special guest for a JazzEast Out like a Lion concert, the Prohibition Swing Dance on March 30 at the Olympic Community Centre.
John Wesley Chisholm is a pretty interesting, smart cat who has had a significant presence in Halifax since the late eighties. Blackpool, Johnny Favourite Swing Orchestra, Arcadia Entertainment, and Halifax's Cycle Gallery are the contributions I know about, and there are probably more.
Isn't she a beauty? Each year, JazzEast reinvents the main figure for it's Out like a Lion spring time music festival, and this time Geordan of The Quarrelsome Yeti defined the look of this king of the beasts as well as the typography for the festival title.
