Presented by: Improvising Musicians of Ottawa/Outaouais (IMOO)

IMOO are group of musicians who, drawing on jazz, classical, folk and rock traditions, are dedicated to the exploration of contemporary practice in improvisation. They are interested in exploring different practices and means of communication, including, but not limited to, verbal, visual, auditory, gestural, concrete and abstract. They are a platform and resource for emerging artists to present their work and/or collaborate with other artists and exist as a means to community development and networking, bringing artists together, and presenting their work to a broad audience.

An encomium from local jazz radio host Bernard Stepien: "the IMOO series is a resounding success. As some local Jazz ayatollahs would say, avant-garde Jazz in Ottawa usually doesn't attract more than a half-dozen highly mystical listeners. The IMOO people have successfully proved them wrong."
