Opening the 2025 Ottawa Jazz Festival!

It was a real pleasure opening the 2025 Ottawa Jazz Festival on June 20, 2025, with a show of mine entitled Sage Reynolds: Solstice Explorations. The show was at the OLG Stage at Ottawa City Hall and the band featured:

Sage Reynolds – double bass
Steve Boudreau – keys
Deniz Lim-Sersan – keys
José Monchito Hernández García – drums

We performed original compositions from all four of us, as well as a couple “covers” and an improvised composition. Thanks so much to the Ottawa Jazz Festival direction, staff, crew, and volunteers for a memorable performance experience. A beautiful moment was shared by all. Happy Summer Solstice!
