Ottawa Jazz Festival 2026
The Plastic Waste Band
The Plastic Waste Band is an experimental rock band born from the jazz community of Montreal, Canada. This is a band in the truest sense: longtime collaborators who fly into psychedelic group improvisations on the wings of finely tuned compositions. Electric guitars, soaring saxophone, thumping acoustic bass, and big drums evoke Led Zeppelin crashing a gig with the John Coltrane Quartet.
Due for release in spring 2026, Trash Island is their third and most ambitious album to date. Envisioning a future where all of humanity lives on a floating island of trash, the album showcases the band’s signature irreverence, supported by high-level musicianship. Listen and feel release from the doomsday prophecies of our generation.
