A Few Shots from the Guelph Jazz Festival 2014 Launch

Ajay announces the 2014 lineup. This year marks the birth, or (more appropriately) the arrival, centenary of the pioneering jazz artist Sun Ra on planet Earth. The art this year features Sun Ra, and the Sun Ra Arkestra will perform, under the direction of Marshall Allen, in a collaborative performance, Hymn to the Universe, with the renowned Canadian dance company Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie.
