The 22nd Atlantic Jazz Festival began on July 11th in Halifax, Nova Scotia and was opened by Argentina’s Orquesta Tipica Imperial.This great jazz festival, known for bringing the best in jazz together every year, is expanding to include different types of music such as avant-garde, world, pop, folk, and fusion.Tango music may not initially seem like it has a lot in common with jazz, but its roots in the experiences of every day people and its growth to a high art form give the two many similarities.According to All About Jazz, the Festival runs through the 19th and is only the first stop for the Orquesta Tipica on its first North American Tour.They will also be playing in New York and Chicago before returning to Argentina.
