Morgan, did you realize Ingrid Jensen actually is playing at this year's festival, with her sister Christine on July 1?

To the above list, I'd like to add a couple of performers who've appeared at the festival before but whom I missed for whatever reason: saxophonist James Carter, Mark Turner and Kurt Rosenwinkel, and did Pat Martino also play a few years ago?

Also on my wish list would be Michael Brecker, Gary Bartz and Roy Hargrove. (I know the last two have appeared at the festival in recent years, but I'd love to hear them again).

And, strange as this may sound to Greater Vancouverites, as someone attending this year's festival from out of town, I'm really looking forward to hearing some of the many great Vancouver jazz musicians that I don't regularly get to hear -- people like Brad Turner, Mike Allen, Oliver Gannon, Dave Robbins, Dylan Cramer and Sharon Minemoto. There's a bunch of other Vancouver performers I enjoy that I won't be able to stay to see. I hope jazz fans in the Vancouver area realize how lucky they are to have such a wealth of local talent.
