A couple of years ago (rather 4 years or so) I witnessed a performance in
one of the Montreal's metro stations by a trio Les Impromptistes.  If I'm
not mistaken they even have a CD on empreintes digitales.  They even got
some media coverage with event (CBC or something...).  It was an
interesting event because it was almost unadvertised and they were
situated in a place where 2 office buildings meet.  So they played in
the morning where a lot of people were going to work, lunch time and
around 5PM.  It seemed to be a big surprise to all those who  work in the
area.  Some run away, others couldn't fight their curiosity and stayed a
bit.  Overall it was an inetersting event.  I think there should more of
such performances.
