09:30 PM | JAM SESSION ANIMé PAR ALEX BELLEGARDE
Alex Bellegarde’s dynamic Tuesday jam session has become one of Montreal’s hippest weekly jazz events.

The jam opens in the second set, to any jazz musician with the confidence to step up and play…there’s an unspoken rule though: “If you can’t keep up, you shouldn’t be on stage”. A great place to play and chill…. the jam continues on into the early hours! Alex Bellegarde Trio and guest : André Leroux - saxophone |

09:30 PM | KALMUNITY JAZZ PROJECT
The Kalmunity Jazz Project has put together a special jazz project. Original compositions and collective "live organic improv" are the points of departure. Elements of dub /reggae, funk, hip-hop, afro-beat and r'n'b are integrated into a jazz conception, allowing the musicians to reflect their experiences (musical and otherwise) in the moment. Their performances blur the line between improvisation and real-time composition, making each set a unique experience.
