    Jazz Fest launches full 2014 program: here’s what’s in store for jazz lovers at the Bassment

    • April 29, 2014

    With the release of the full 2014 Saskatchewan Jazz Festival schedule we can finally get a look at what’s going on at the Bassment — which is once again the festival’s jazzy stronghold. Since the big-ticket main stage at the Bessborough isn’t playing host to any jazz megastars this year (like last summer’s visits from Herbie Hancock and Dr. John), let’s investigate the Bassment lineup to see where we’re getting a heavier dose of swing, fusion, and a dash of indie and world music.
