wonderful programs
As usual, everybody NY gig seeking, and jumping on the bandwagon. New acts that no one ever heard of or seen, etc.. While the myth of Bird lives on. Have been to the last few festivals. Some acts leave a lot to be desired. Too bad this is not Chicago, and Labor day jazz fest. I would love to see some AACM musicans to shake things up and add some real fresh blood to this event.
is there a rain date for Sunday events if it rains, or does it still take place under a tent or something?
Our shows are rain or shine, we only cancel shows in the case of dangerous conditions.
