Sarah Vaughan will bring us her version of the Stephen Sondheim anthem Send in the Clowns, a theme song appropriate to the circus that is 2020, plus well hear other artists whove graced the stage at the Montreal Jazz Festival over the years, including Oscar Peterson, Abbey Lincoln, and Dominique Fils-Aime. Well hear a movement-building set with songs from Jay Nemor, Speedometer feat. James Junior, and Nina Simone, plus well hear songs of freedom from Kim Weston, Arrested Development, and Navasha Daya.
