TRANSITION
"what we play is life"-Louis Armstrong
"music is the healing force of the universe"- Albert Ayler:
Twelve months of the year, twelve tones of the chromatic scale, twelve colors of the color wheel, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Buddhist causes of existence, twelve hidden imams, twelve apostles , twelve days of concerts at noon and the twelfth edition of
JGHJAZZ, June 27- July 8, 2011.
Transition is the last edition in this series to explore the relationship of
improvised music to healing in the form of an interactive installation, called
JGHJazz.
The music and the musicians and the environment in which they play is my
reflection of the art of healing as practiced at the Jewish General
Hospital.
Music and music share the compassion, openness, diversity, discipline and
rigor necessary to help people in a life that is in unceasing transition.
Transition is about remembering. It is dedicated to Charlotte Amoussouga-Gero,
whose spirit is forever in the wind for us, and who joins all the others we
remember who have enriched our lives.
This year's lineup of distinguished musical artists will be presented in group
and solo concerts.
Schedule
All concerts start at 12:00 p.m.
The stage will be located outside Côtes-des-Neiges entrance (Main Lobby in case of rain)
