Leonard Cohen, the prophet of gloom or the most charming bard to many, Montreal's favourite son returns home after 15 years last Wednesday at a concert at Place the Arts, acclaimed as one of the best concerts not to be missed. It also openned one of the biggest Jazz Festival in the world which kicked off last Thursday with the biggest open free concert downtown, which was - A Tribute to Leonard Cohen. The JazzFest du Montreal will run until July 6, originally a gathering of who's who in the Jazz world has become a Music Festival in all categories of music, from Al Green, Aretha Franklin (soul) to Old School Hiphop greats as Public Enemy and RZA gracing this year's fest.
