Van Basten II Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Interesting lineup, would love to hear the duo Courvoisier-Eskelin. On the other hand, not sure i could withstand 10 hours in a row of this style of music (or any kind for that matter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) Wow, that's an impressive lineup. I'll think about going... I work Friday till 2:30 pm, probably could get off earlier. Any Organissimo denizens planning to be there? If you lived in Toronto you wouldn't complain about getting 10 hrs of quality improv/free jazz in a row....... Besides, if you get the day pass then just go to the stuff you want, or dip in & out. Edited May 19, 2008 by Nate Dorward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I would be thrilled if such a festival was available to us in Kansas City. It seems impossible that it could ever happen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTMX Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I saw Faruq Z. Bey & Northwoods Improvisers and Michael Carey & Piotr Michalowski at Edgefest in Ann Arbor last year and they were two of my favorite performances (of many excellent performances). If I didn't have to work here I'd be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong i'd be thrilled to have that kind of a lineup here in Montreal too, still i feel that fans of music would be better served if instead of having all this in a one day meal, you could have instead these acts once at the time for a few weekends.
