A major player on the Canadian cultural scene, L'Équipe Spectra has spent over 35 years building an extensive catalogue of musical television programs (live concert recordings, documentaries, and performing arts special).
In addition to hundreds of hours of performances by jazz, blues and world music artists who have appeared at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, our catalogue also features the best collection of programs devoted to francophone music. The catalogue includes all live concerts recorded from 1974 to 2010 by Kebec Film, Spectel Vidéo, Sogestalt, Amérimage-Spectra, L'Agence Spectra and Les FrancoFolies de Montréal.
Seductive for the diversity and quality of their content, these timeless recordings constitute a true audiovisual heritage. The excellence of our work has been recognized by the many nominations and awards our productions and co-productions have received at major events, including the International Emmy Awards, the Prix Gémeaux and Gemini Awards, the Banff Festival, Rose d'Or de Montreux and l'ADISQ.
