It's almost time for the 2019 Montreal Jazz Festival! The 40th edition of the festival kicks off on Wednesday, June 26th and runs until Saturday, July 6th.
The festival will run eleven days and includes over 400 acts. There are multiple genres, and we're sure you'll find new music, some stuff you know and love, and if you're lucky, maybe you'll find a new band that you love.
With such a long list of acts we wanted to help get you started with your planning, I've picked ten shows that we think you shouldn't miss during the 40th Montreal Jazz Festival. I've included multiple genres and multiple price points, including the fabulous Molly Johnson 's show for free.
You can check out the full list of artists here.

Keep your eyes peeled for our Montreal Jazz Festival 5 Quick Question Series.
And, if you're counting, there are 11 acts, but two of them are playing the same show!
