_ HOUSE BAND
Modibo Keita (trombone)
Joshua Clarke (wordsmith)
Zach Frampton (piano)
Leighton Harrell (bass)
Alexis Gagnon (drums)
A longstanding jazz tradition, the late show features the house band, right after the main show, in a less formal context.
The house band starts the party, and all musicians in the room are then invited to participate in the jam session until the sun rises (almost!).
Accessibility _ The venue at 3716 Notre-Dame is located in the basement. The stairs might make the room difficult to access for people with mobility issues.
