Festival organizer and performer Amelia Curran described In The Dead Of Winter best: "It's like Christmas, only better." More than 50 musical acts performed at five venues around Halifax from Jan. 27 to 31, and Curran and fellow festival organizers Heather Gibson, Tanya Davis and Don Brownrigg outdid themselves.

That's right, like most mature music festivals, the Montreal International Jazz Festival has expanded and evolved beyond its purist roots to include every tangentially jazz-related style under the sun.
