    I heard about it on the radio, but not being a jazz fan I didn't pay
    too much attention.  If you want a pamphlet, drop me a line (with mail
    stop) and Il'l try to find something to send.

    The Montreal festival is still head and shoulders better than anything
    else of it's kind in North America but the post Alcan financial crunch
    is starting to show a little. There is one fewer free stage than there
    has been in the past and many fewer repeat performances, meaning that,
    unlike past years you often find you have to choose between two acts.
    The absense of a running theme show is also a loss (past years Paris
    Musette and Klezmer theme stages were highlights). Still well worth the
    trip but for the first time since I've started coming you really need
    to have bought tickets for at least one or two shows to have a full
    schedule.
