Closing night of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal showcased Montréal’s Orchestre national de jazz, conducted by drummer-composer-bandleader John Hollenbeck (now a “proud Montréal resident” and teacher at McGill’s Schulich School of music) with Theo Bleckmann on vocals and effects. The performance was the world premiere of a new composition by Hollenbeck intended to be a “spatial experiment.” During the course of the performance’s 12 sections, which included a piece dedicated to Laurie Frink and ended with an arrangement of Kraftwerk’s classic “Das Model,” Bleckmann and the musicians moved around the stage (and the entire concert hall), chanting gibberish, tapping on instruments, hollering, humming and singing. It was a unique, riveting experience to be in the audience that night-the perfect ending to this extraordinary celebration of music.
