JazzYYC gearing up for summer festival
Numerous performers are coming to Calgary for the JazzYYC Summer Festival, which runs June 23-29 at venues throughout the city. As the temperature warms up, more and more festivals are staged in Calgary, and among the first this year is the JazzYYC Summer Festival. 'We want to give a nice, wide sampling of the styles of jazz,' JazzYYC artistic director Kodi Hutchinson told CTV News. Opening the festival on June 23 at Studio Bell is Grammy-nominated Artemis, an all-female quintet. 'It's led by a Canadian – Renee Rosnes, born in Saskatchewan, raised in Vancouver – and considered one of the greatest jazz piano players on the planet,' Hutchinson said. Taking the stage at the Bella Concert Hall on June 25 is Mike Stern. 'When you talk about living greats on the jazz guitar, a lot of people will mention Pat Metheny, they'll mention John Schofield or they'll mention Mike Stern. He's one of the big three. He is amazing,' Hutchinson said. The JazzYYC Summer Festival runs from June 23 to 29.
