Additional Information
Modibo Keita grew up in Montreal, is a trombonist by training and plays as much as he can when he’s not programming at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. Since the introduction of the event’s new artistic direction, jazz has once again become a priority in outdoor programming, in order to revive interest and eventually bring the most unifying artists to the concert halls. To this end, the programming team has recruited a true jazz musician, and a connoisseur of both tradition and the contributions of new generations, in the person of Modibo Keita. Here, he helps us uncover the musts of the program, both indoors and out, far beyond the obvious ones also mentioned in his nomenclature. Alain Brunet interviewed him for PAN M 360.
