Larry Young Jazz Festival

Recommended Posts

I talked to Larry III a few months ago, and he told me about this upcoming Festival in Newark, NJ. It sounded great! It's supposed to be the second week of August. I haven't had a chance to call him, but since that part of the larryyoungmusic website isn't up yet, I will have to do so.

Anyone know anything before I call him up?

Thanks,

Bertrand.

I'll try to call Larry this week. I've just been super busy in the last few months, and I was under the impression that the website would be working by now. It seems like they will need help advertising at this point. I was in touch with him, but haven't heard from him in a while.

The line-up was quite amazing - he contacted basically anyone still alive who ever recorded even a note with Larry II.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Bertrand.
