Listings DIY Ottawa, Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide Calendar, Jazz Happenings and Ottawa Blues This Week
by BluesAndJazzGuy
This is just a reminder on gig listings as mentioned below by Brett Delmage, Editor, Ottawa Jazz Happenings that to have your gigs highlighted to people who may be interested, there are deadlines to ensure the word gets out soon enough.
For Liz Syke's Ottawa Blues This week, normally sent out early in the week to her list, it's also a good idea to send a gig listing as early as possible to ottawablues(a)gmail.com
In the case of the Ottawa Blues, Jazz and Swing Guide DIY calendar, it's also timely to remind those who wish to post their gigs on line, it's better to post them sooner than later on that calendar. See graphic DIY guide at this link:
http://ottawa-blues-jazz.ncf.ca/MonthsCalendar.html .
As you probably know, I send out my Ottawabluesandjazz list mailing from time to time to approx 350 subscribers when there are noteworthy gigs I feel should be highlighted that appear on the calendar at my discretion.
So, if a gig is posted on the calendar, it's more likely to be highlighted and get better play to your potential audience as the Brian Brown gig at NAC 4th Stage this Saturday was in the 27 October mailing. Even if I don't send a mailing for the week of the gig, more people are likely to see it if posted.

Message from Brett Delmage:
Ottawa Jazz Happenings and JazzWorks Connections - 30 October 2008 - Update
Several interesting performances by talented local and international
musicians were submitted to us after the Sunday night deadline this week.
We didn't want you to miss the opportunity to hear them, so we are
issuing an update this week.
A Note to Performers
--------------------
Please submit your event notice as soon as you know about it, even
if you do not yet have all the details. We will list your special event for
two editions if we receive your information early enough.
We keep track of upcoming events well into the future and already have
events recorded up to May 30, 2009. Every local venue has failed to
provide timely or complete information at some time - so please let US
know directly about your event if you want people to know about it.
Send your gig notices to OttawaJazzHappenings(a)JazzworksCanada.com . Please
do NOT send notices by replying to this email -- they'll tend to get lost.
We also welcome notices about unusual jazz events from readers, as some
organizers fail to get the word out, or are unaware of Ottawa Jazz Happenings.
We never mind hearing twice about an event; that just makes sure it gets
in the list.
Thanks!

Meeting Minutes
1. Present: Mark Goldblatt (Canadian Co-operative Association)
Michel Martin, singer
Nicole Ratté, singer
Jozée Devoua, singer
Doug Martin, saxophones
Bernard Stépien, saxophones
Howard Tweddle, bass and piano
2. After a general exposition from Michel Martin about his idea of a local jazz musicians' co-operative that would operate a jazz venue full-time and a sharing of those present about their interest in the idea, Mark Goldblatt presented generally about co-ops, re-iterating several times that, based on his 30 years of experience in the co-op movement, including with worker co-ops, that the idea of a jazz musicians' co-op is entirely viable.
3. All agreed that the next step would be a meeting to which all local jazz musicians would be invited to discuss the vision and mission of such a co-op, the discussion to be facilitated in a voluntary capacity by Mark Goldblatt. This meeting will take place on Sunday, November 2, at Le Petit Chicago at 50 Promenade du Portage in Hull, near Eddy St. Maxime Gauld, impresario and owner of this club, has graciously agreed to host the meeting.
4. A second step would be the conduct of a feasibility study by someone with experience. To this end, Mark Goldblatt agreed to contact the Ontario Co-operative Association in Guelph about funding for this study and other development help. With a similar purpose, Michel Martin will make contact with the Coopérative de développement régional Outaouais-Laurentides in Gatineau. Jozée Devoua will speak to Jean-Pierre Allain who had obtained help from the City of Gatineau to try to organize a jazz festival in Gatineau.
5. Nicole Ratté agreed to help Michel Martin with the computer formatting of the invitation to the general meeting about the co-op mission. Michel will ensure that word of this meeting gets to all and sundry via newsletters, the union and other means.
