Saturday night, Pontiacers were treated to “Let’s Jazz”, a cabaret-style jazz show at the Domaine de Pontiac Village winery outside of Quyon.
 Gatineau-based vocalist Mélanie Cloutier wowed the audience in Quyon on Saturday night. Her show “Let’s Jazz” will be returning to the Domaine de Pontiac Village this Saturday.

Around 30 people gathered at the Domaine de Pontiac Village winery outside Quyon on Saturday night for an evening of wine and classic jazz.
“Let’s Jazz” is a cabaret style show based out of Gatineau that features vocalist and co-producer Mélanie Cloutier backed up by keyboard, bass and guitar.

Owner Maude Lambert said that the idea for the evening came when her friend and “Let’s Jazz” co-producer Dominic Faultz came to the winery during the grape harvest.
“He talked to us about having it here, and we thought, ‘Perfect,’” she said. “In August there’s always nice evenings, it’s nice to be outside.”
Faultz said the rustic, yet intimate venue appealed to him.
“We wanted to do something outside the city,” he explained. “It’s sort of a mix of wine and an old cabaret-style night.”
He said work began on the show back in January. Judging by the crowd’s response the performance was a hit.
Those that missed the show still have a chance to catch it this Saturday, Aug. 19.
