Jazz

Last Saturday (the 10th) I attended an "Urban Folk/Jazz" Jam at my favorite BN. It was an evening long music festival with artists from the area as well as surrounding cities. Musicians such as Thomas Doncker, Richie Goods, Allan Harris, Jana Herzen, Bujo Kevin Jones, Charnett Moffett and Kuku with "[his] cousin from the irish part of Nigeria: John Smith".

It was AMAZING!!!
The music was fantastic, each artist brought their own "flavor" and humor to the scene. There was clearly camradery between everyone, and though it was labeled a "performance" it felt relaxed and down to earth like no other concert I've been to. Artists wandering around talking to us in the audience, listening and cheering for each other, helping out with instruments and stuff... truly a special special event. I was very impressed. And the music? FANTASTIC!!!!

The only spot on the otherwise perfect evening was that the concert was cut short, because B&N was closing early due to a "winter storm"..... (which wasn't all that horrible at all!!!!)
