Wow, Montreal, you have outdone yourself: saw Peter Brotzmann, the Ratchet Orchestra, the French-American Peace Ensemble, Nu Sensae, Babysitter + JLK, Mikal Cronin, EXPWY and more in the past week alone∑ still reeling a bit and catching my breath over here in the music dept.

Enough blathering, back to work – here are some charts.

Till next week,
Joni
