Just got back... and its' way too hot to do this festival justice... but I had to get a few notes in....

My absolute highlights...
1) Joe Lovano/Hank Jones/George Mraz/Lewis Nash Quartet.... Wonderfull... Great news... this was recorded by Blue Note and will be released at a later date TBA!!!!
2) Dave Brubeck WITH (only for 2 songs but an unforgettable 2 songs) Wynton Marsalis.... (The cameras were popping....)
3) Wynton's quintet.... (I love Wynton... and for those of you don't... don't go there...just move on...)
4) Carla Bley and the Lost Chords
5) Dave Holland Big Band (as always)
6) Joshua Redman's Elastic Band... MUCH better than I thought it would be....

okay enough for now!!!!!!!!!! Whew... Wiped and overwhelmed....
