After doing both festivals last year my impression was that though Chicago's line up paled in comparison to Detroit's you could take a break from the festival and safely walk the Chicago streets nearby where there are plenty of great restaurants, pubs, and shops. I and many others took advantage of this perk after walking out on Charlie Hunter's monotonous set last year deciding instead to get a bite and a beer, and you just can't do that in Detroit.. The line up of talent at Detroit's festival however is so killin' no one really wants to leave Hart Plaza...

GregK Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Have a great show, guys! I wish I could come down and check it out, but with packing and everything else there's no way I can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Break a leg! I hope your stage is near the porta-johns. When I went to the 1990 New Orleans Jazzfest, an unknown blues singer/guitarist named Kenny Neal was performing on a very small stage next to the johns. He had a small audience, plus everyone in the long lines waiting to use the johns (including me). Over the course of the set, his audience kept growing until it became quite sizeable. Everyone (including me) who had been waiting in line stuck around for the remainder of the set. The next year he was featured on a bigger stage. He has gone on to have a good career. And I think it all started with his captive audience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Damn good line up! And Gene Ludwig is on the same stage later in the day! Good luck. And have a good time. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 That is a great lineup! Much better than Chicago's. Good luck with your shows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I wish they weren't directly competing with Chicago. It didn't used to be this way in the past. When did this switch over? Well, I wouldn't be able to go to Detroit this year anyway, but maybe in the near future ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randissimo Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 That is a great lineup! Much better than Chicago's. Good luck with your shows! Chicago certainly has the aesthetic appeal. Grant Park is beautiful and you can safely walk around downtown, but again, the lineup typically pales in comparison to Detroit, where you don't want to walk the streets off Hart Plaza..

Jim Alfredson Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I take it from the lack of responses that nobody on the board came to the show. You're all fired. Or banned. Or whatever. Here are some quick shots from the B3 Summit. We had a blast. You missed it. You suck. Photos by Pattye Ludwig © 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randissimo Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) I take it from the lack of responses that nobody on the board came to the show. You're all fired. Or banned. Or whatever. Here are some quick shots from the B3 Summit. We had a blast. You missed it. You suck. Great shots! I caught some of Brubeck's set knowing it would probably be the last chance to see him live and they were swingin'! I then hurried back to the Pyramid stage just in time to catch Jim & Gerard manning the organ.. That was indeed a kodak moment!
