I have attended it several times. Always enjoyed myself.

A jazz festival that still includes jazz? Cool.

Time to get hip!

From the perspective of a fan of the music, however, it has consistently presented quality music and there is not anything to match it in the area without traveling to NYC or Massachussetts.

I hate to do this, but I edited some things in this thread. One of these days I'd like the band to play this festival and unfortunately I always have to worry whether people (in general) can distinguish the band from the forum. Past experience tells me that they often times cannot.

I apologize.

[AllenLowe]

not to worry. Let me know if you need an opening act -

[Jim Alfredson]

Allen, that would be awesome.

[AllenLowe]

just don't expect me to flash the audience at the end and burn my guitar - that's more of an Organissimo thing. I'm just getting too old, and I'm tired of getting hit in the face with women's underwear -

Not a problem. Understood.

Nice festival, never had been there before, mellow and laid back but tightly run and it's in such a pretty location. I only got to see most of Saturday, and the last two acts of Sunday unfortunately. Sonny Fortune was the highlight for me.

(Pssst...I found it interesting that a member of the Board of Directors plays every year. Nothing like running a festival to have a guaranteed gig.)
