Michael Gasselsdorfer and Arden Arapyan at Montreal International Jazz Fest

There are times when you don't have to got far to celebrate fine talent, and this coming week provides an excellent opportunity for music lovers and jazz aficionados to do just that as two Laval lads take to the TD Canada Trust Club Jazz Stage in Montreal.

Pianist Arden Arapyan and drummer Michael Gasselsdorfer are part of the Arden Arapyan Ensemble of six musicians who'll treat jazz festival fans to two free concerts on Wednesday, July 2, at 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

Care to revel in some sweet music? Join the boys at the festival, you'll be pleased with their talent, and their passionate love of music.

"It will be a great pleasure to see some of our Laval friends at the festival," says Gasselsdorfer, adding that it will be time well spent for anyone who loves music. He would especially enjoy touching base with friends from Laval who he hasn't seen in a little while. "It's a great opportunity to renew acquaintances and relive some fond memories of our young and foolish years," he adds with characteristic good humour.<@Bi>(J.F.)
