Wow!!

There are at least 3 reasons (in no particular order) why I would love to experience this Festival in my old stomping grounds, Coconut Grove & Coral Gables:

1. Trio da Paz
2. Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio
3. Chucho Valdés Quintet

As a Native Floridian, long displaced, and a 50+ year jazz fan, all best wishes for a fabulously successful 2012 Miami Jazz Festival!
