Bill and Joel Plaskett : solidarity
MARCH 18 There is something special about a father-son road trip . Juno Award-winning Joel Plaskett and his father Bill ( who taught him everything he knows , of course ) are taking us along for the ride . Meanwhile , tune in to Ottawa Jazz Orchestra Presents : Canadiana ( ApRil 29 ). Jazz in Canada has a long history that ’ s kept relevant by new ensembles playing the standards of our best musicians , like the " Canadiana Suite " by Oscar Peterson & more !
