This morning I installed a music player that I am unfamiliar with, and decided that the first thing I should listen to is Angine de Poitrine Vol. 1 and Vol. II since I hadn’t listened to them in a while. And then I found, by coincidence that they played the Montreal Jazz Festival last Saturday (June 27th, 2026) and broke the attendance record set by Stevie Wonder in 2009.
We got pretty close to the front, was a good time. Somehow we managed to find a little flow of people and made it up from the back without any pushing or otherwise being shitty.
They don’t talk, so it’s not the most interactive experiennce, but the crowd was having fun. Some people made a mosh circle a little beside us.
Glad I got to go for free, and can say I was there.
