JAZZ BLOG 08, DAY 9: Exactly what a festival should be

Recommend Blog Post
Total Recommendations (0)

What a long, strange trip it's been on this nine-day jazz binge. Anyone with a Club Pass has probably hit the wall of exhaustion, caught their second, third, and fourth winds, and seen some impressive acts at some of the most unexpected moments. What really sticks out for me (aside from the obvious -- seeing the legends like Boz Scaggs, David Liebman, Al Green, etc.) was the Chuck Campbell sit in on the pedal steel guitar. The rendition of Hendrix's "Hey Joe" cast a spell over the concert-goers. It was a non-stop jam that had the sea of people making hip-shaking waves for nearly two hours.

Next up: Plenty of rest and a trip to the Bop Shop to see how the albums stack up against the live shows.

I am glad that Giusti added a blog entry for the Craig Snyder Fusion Group. I was part of a handful of people who saw this band and what a great band! The tunes were all very different and the guitar playing was excellent. The keyboardist could have been a little stronger in the mix but he played well. Keep this band in mind for future events!

I spent my entire time at the festival. Day 9 was tough, but not as tough as day 6. Music was great on day 6, 9 not so much. I look forward to the bop shop review. Brendan nailed this one....agian. Thnx.
