Please tell me about the Caramoor Jazz Festival.

I guess I'm getting old enough to spend a whole day sleeping under a tent. Wife says I snore though.

What do you think, a good way to spend a couple of Sundays?

Dmitry,

I have gone to several and the setting is really beautiful and the sound system is very good. I remember particularly memorable gigs with Sam Rivers, the Paul Motian Trio, Joe Lovano Quintet, and Steve Lacy. Some people get good seats under the tent, others sort of picnic on the lawn and talk. If it is very hot, the tent can get a bit hot and I remember sweating a bit one year. The concerts used to be from about 1:00 to about 10:00pm with four or five acts. so it's a long day, but they have clean bathrooms and good food. Also, for those without cars, they have a shuttle bus that runs from the Metro North train station to Caramoor, however it only runs at the beginning and the end of the concert. I would say if you like the lineup, you may enjoy it!!
