      10 Years ago: LEONARD COHEN at Montreal International Jazz Festival, June 23-25, 2008, <\/strong><\/p>\n

      2008 \u2013 2018, ten years ago in Montreal, Leonard Cohen takes it again: The Festival International de Jazz de Montr\u00e9al (English: Montreal International Jazz Festival) is an annual jazz festival held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Montreal Jazz Fest holds the 2004 Guinness World Record as the world’s largest jazz festival. In 2008, when Leonard Cohen returns on stage, he played three days at World`s most famous Jazz-Festival from\u00a0 June 23-25, 2008. The day after, June 26, 2008, there was a \u201cTribute To Leonard Cohen\u201d-Concert at Place des Arts in Montreal, also. In the last of his three concerts presented as preludes to the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Leonard Cohen, \u201cthe 73-year-old hometown poet-hero on tour for the first time in 15 years\u201d (NEW YORK TIMES), said that on his last time through town he was \u201c60 years old, just a kid with a crazy dream.\u201d Between waves of applause and hollers in French and English, he added, \u201cI am so grateful to be here and to be from here.\u201d In 2018, this year The FIJM is from June 28, until July 7, 39th Edition. On day one there is a completely free special concert-event presented as part of official program of the 375th anniversary of Montreal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      2. 10 Years ago: LEONARD COHEN at Montreal International Jazz Festival, June 23-25, 2008<\/strong><\/p>\n

      2008 \u2013 2018. Das Festival International de Jazz de Montr\u00e9al (FIJM) ist das gr\u00f6\u00dfte Jazzfestival der Welt. Leonard Cohen trat vor zehn Jahren \u2013 nach 15\u00e4hriger B\u00fchnenabstinzenz vom 23.-25. juni 2008 dort drei Mal AUF: Einen Tag darauf, am 26. Juni gab es sogar ein \u201eTribute To Leonard Cohen\u201c-Konzert mit mehreren K\u00fcnstlern, die Cohens Lieder performten. Darunter auch adam Cohen.<\/p>\n

      Gew\u00f6hnlich findet es zu Beginn der kanadischen Festival Saison statt (bzw. Ende Juni bis Mitte Juli). \u00dcber 2 Millionen Menschen besuchen die elft\u00e4gige Veranstaltung. W\u00e4hrend des Festivals sind gro\u00dfe Teile der Innenstadt (Downtown Montreal) f\u00fcr den Auto-Verkehr gesperrt, so dass auch im Freien Konzerte stattfinden k\u00f6nnen. Einige der Open-Air Konzerte werden von mehr als hunderttausend Menschen besucht. In Pubs, Clubs, Theatern, Museen, Konzerts\u00e4len und sogar einigen Kaufh\u00e4usern werden dann Konzerte veranstaltet. Von den mehr als 650 Konzerten sind 450 frei und finden an etwa zehn Open Air Pl\u00e4tzen statt. Neben Jazz treten auch Weltmusik-, Pop- und Blues-Musiker auf. Das Festival besuchen j\u00e4hrlich rund 2 Millionen Besucher, davon 250.000 Touristen. Es wird von einer unabh\u00e4ngigen non-profit-Organisation geleitet. Es ist bekannt f\u00fcr seine lockere Volksfest-Atmosph\u00e4re.<\/p>\n

      Das Festival wurde 1980 auf Initiative von Alain Simard (der vorher schon \u00fcber die Agentur Kosmos Productions Jazz- und Blueskonzerte in Montreal organisierte) und Andr\u00e9 M\u00e9nard gegr\u00fcndet (kurz darauf erg\u00e4nzt durch Denyse McCann), mit ihrer gemeinsamen Firma Spectra Scene. Schon 1978 k\u00fcndigten sie das Festival an und organisierten auch Konzerte z. B. mit Bill Evans, B. B. King und Charles Mingus, erhielten aber keine F\u00f6rderung. Auch 1979 klappte es nicht (daf\u00fcr gab es Konzerte mit Pat Metheny, Keith Jarrett), sondern erst 1980 mit Unterst\u00fctzung von CBC Radio und Verkauf von Radio-Rechten an Radio Qu\u00e9bec. Damals traten auf der Insel Sainte-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne u. a. Gary Burton, Chick Corea und Ray Charles auf und es kamen 12000 Besucher. 1982 zog es in das Viertel St.Denis, das aber auch bald zu klein war. Bald darauf war sein Renommee mit dem Auftritt von Stars wie Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, St\u00e9phane Grappelli, Oscar Peterson, Sarah Vaughan gefestigt. 1987 erhielt es nach einer finanziellen Krise erstmals Unterst\u00fctzung durch die Stadt Montreal und ab 1989 fand es an seinem heutigen Ort in Downtown Montreal statt um den \u201ePlace des Arts\u201c und den \u201eComplexe Desjardins\u201c. 1989 hatte das Festival \u00fcber 1 Million Besucher.<\/p>\n

      Auf dem Festival werden auch Preise vergeben: der \u201eElla Fitzgerald Award\u201c f\u00fcr Vokalk\u00fcnstler (ab 1999), der \u201eMiles Davis Award\u201c f\u00fcr etablierte internationale Jazzmusiker (ab 1994), der \u201eOscar Peterson\u201c Award f\u00fcr kanadische Jazzmusiker (ab 1989), der \u201eAntonio Carlos Jobim Award\u201c f\u00fcr Weltmusik.<\/p>\n

      Beim 30. Festival im Jahr 2009 trat Stevie Wonder im Rahmen der Er\u00f6ffnungsveranstaltung vor rund 200.000 Zuh\u00f6rern auf.[1] In einer bewegenden Ansprache erinnerte er vor seinem Auftritt an den wenige Tage zuvor verstorbenen Michael Jackson.[2][3][4] In diesem Jubil\u00e4umsjahr traten daneben unter anderem Al Di Meola, Buddy Guy, Dave Brubeck, Joe Cocker, Katie Melua, Pink Martini und Wayne Shorter auf.[5]<\/p>\n

      The Festival International de Jazz de Montr\u00e9al (English: Montreal International Jazz Festival) is an annual jazz festival held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Montreal Jazz Fest holds the 2004 Guinness World Record as the world’s largest jazz festival.[1] Every year it features roughly 3,000 artists from 30-odd countries, more than 650 concerts (including 450 free outdoor performances), and welcomes over 2 million visitors (12.5% of whom are tourists) as well as 300 accredited journalists.[1] The festival takes place at 20 different stages, which include free outdoor stages and indoor concert halls.[1]<\/strong><\/p>\n

      A major part of the city’s downtown core is closed to traffic for ten days, as free outdoor shows are open to the public and held on many stages at the same time, from noon until midnight. The „festival’s Big Event concerts typically draw between 100,000 and 150,000 people“[2], and can occasionally exceed 200,000[3]. Shows are held in a wide variety of venues, from relatively small jazz clubs to the large concert halls of Place des Arts. Some of the outdoor shows are held on the cordoned-off streets, while others are in terraced parks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      It should not be confused with the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, which is the second largest jazz festival in the world after Montreal’s[4].<\/strong><\/p>\n

      There have been previous jazz festivals in Montreal, including the 3-day Jazz de Chez Nous festival in 1979, created by Montreal bassist Charles Biddle.[5]<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The Montreal Jazz Festival (later: Montreal International Jazz Festival) was conceived by Alain Simard, who had spent much of the 1970s working with Productions Kosmos bringing artists such as Chuck Berry, Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, and others to Montreal to perform. In 1977, Simard teamed up with Andr\u00e9 M\u00e9nard and Denys McCann to form an agency named Spectra Sc\u00e8ne (now known as L’\u00c9quipe Spectra), with the idea of creating a summer festival in Montreal that would bring a number of artists together at the same time[6].<\/strong><\/p>\n

      They planned their first festival for the summer of 1979. Unable to secure sufficient funding, their plans were scuttled, but they still were able to produce two nights of shows at Th\u00e9\u00e2tre-St-Denis featuring Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      In 1980, a Montreal Jazz Festival was staged, with funding from Alain de Grosbois of CBC Stereo and Radio-Qu\u00e9bec[7]. With Gary Burton, Ray Charles, Chick Corea, and Vic Vogel on the bill, and an attendance of 12,000, the event was deemed a success and has continued to grow since then[8].<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/strong>In 2000, the Festival teamed up with Distribution Select to release its 4-CD box set called Over 20 years of music \u2013 Plus de 20 ans de musique. The box includes a 13-page booklet with the artists‘ biographies and complete liner notes about the music.[9]<\/strong><\/p>\n

      In 1999, a group of Montreal jazz musicians disenchanted with the Montreal International Jazz Festival’s lack of support for and showcasing of Montreal jazz musicians created an alternative festival called the OFF Festival of Jazz in Montreal. The alternative festival continues as an annual, week-long jazz festival in Montreal, programmed largely by musicians.<\/strong><\/p>\n
