[JPL] Montreal Jazz Festival

[Eric Jackson]

I've been in Montreal at the festival for the last few days.

I saw McCoy Tyner and his trio with Ravi Coltrane. I got a chance to 
speak to both. Great set! Some sound problems.

Abbey Lincoln performed well but she looked very fragile and shaky.

The Dirty Dozen Band was very loud but enjoyable.

I've seen some of the WBGO folks since I've been here. I had breakfast 
with Thurston Briscoe and Michael Bourne and Josh Jackson are here since 
WBGO is doing some broadcasting.

XM's Russ Davis and Mark Ruffin are here.

I'm not sure if WGBH's Steve Schwartz is here yet but he is supposed to 
be coming to the festival.
