The TD Ottawa Jazz Festival is calling off tonight’s concert by the Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra because its musicians have been stranded in the United States, due to a cancelled flight, the festival’s executive producer, Catherine O’Grady, said Wednesday.
“It can’t be helped,” O’Grady wrote in an email. “We’ve been on the phone all night trying to figure out various things including driving down to get them! The Eastern seaboard has been bombarded with storms so flights have been cancelled all week.
“It’s breaking my heart because I’ve been working on this for years,” she added.
Ottawa jazz fans had been eagerly anticipating the Haden orchestra concert as the sole unadulterated jazz offering in the 8:30 p.m. Concerts Under the Stars series that otherwise have featured acts such as Kenny Rogers, Serena Ryder, Joss Stone and Tuesday night’s electro-swing group Caravan Palace.
O’Grady said the festival is working on an alternative concert to present in place of the Haden orchestra.
More to come.
