 | Next July 4 Paul Simon will be honoured by the Montreal Jazz Festival 2006 in a FREE concert that will take place in Scène General Motors at 9.30 p.m. A large line of singers will participate in the event and they all will sing Paul Simon`s songs. Among the performers we mention: Daniel Lanois, Kevin Parent, Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint, Michel Rivard, Sam Roberts, Bedouin Soundclash, Jesse Cook, Zachary Richard, Daniel Bélanger, Arianne Moffat, Jerri Brown & JB Pumped. This concert will be recorded and aired by TV!!!!!
The show will be one of three major free outdoor concerts at the festival, according to Laurent Saulnier, vice president of programming for the festival: "It´s something really special this year, mainly because we have three special events: one on opening night with the Neville Brothers, one in the middle of the festival with a tribute to Paul Simon and one at the close of the festival with Goran Brigovich, so it feels like a special edition of the jazz fest."
The next day, July 5, Paul Simon will perform in the Montreal Jazz Fest at the venue Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier de la Place des Arts. His performance will start at 8.00 p.m. All tickets for this latter concert are sold out.
