robviti Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Posted August 21, 2005 i thought i'd bump this up since the dates are coming up very soon. anyone else going besides mark and me? could there be a mini o-hang in the making? Quote
Soul Stream Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 Sure are a lot of tributes. Looks like they've got tributitis. Quote
robviti Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Posted August 21, 2005 Sure are a lot of tributes. Looks like they've got tributitis. ← actually, there's two tributes, four celebrations, two birthdays, one salute, and even one homage! Quote

Looks like they've got tributitis. ← actually, there's two tributes, four celebrations, two birthdays, one salute, and even one homage! ← ....3 days of free jazz.......wouldn't miss it!!! I know Sal will be there on Friday and Sunday (as well as the Saturday night afterfest at the Showcase). Hung out with Jim Neumann of Beehive Records yesterday and he'll be in attendance as well. m~ Edited August 22, 2005 by sheldonm Quote
sheldonm Posted August 29, 2005 Report Posted August 29, 2005 ....I guess it's only Jazzshrink, Sal, Jim and myself at the festival this weekend; should have lots of leg room!!! The Jazz Showcase will have their usual "AfterFest" hosted by Ira Sullivan. Hot House and Fred Anderson's Velvet Lounge will have theirs as well....long, crazy extended weekend of jazz . m~ Quote
