Our picks for June 29 at the Montreal International Jazz Festival

Remi Cormier

TD Stage, 6 p.m.

The young composer and trumpeter seen in The Liquor Store orchestra as well as alongside Christine Jensen made a strong impression last spring with the release of his first album as a leader, the elegant Glimpse. This Radio-Canada Revelation will present the substance of it on stage with its septet.

HAWA-B

Club Montreal TD, 7 p.m.

A new voice to watch out for, that of Montreal neo-soul/jazz/pop composer and singer Nadia Hawa Baldé, alias Hawa B, recently heard on the album by Félix Petit (FELP), who is collaborating on the recording of the successor to the scrapbook Sad in a Good Waypublished in April 2022.

Kokoroko

Rio Tinto Stage, 8 p.m.

A pure product of the British scene, the eight-piece ensemble KOKOROKO articulates their fusion of jazz and Afrobeat with astonishing gentleness, relying on the richness of their brass orchestrations — we will discover on stage the songs from their succulent first album Could We Be More, appeared last year.
