sheldonm Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 The Indy Jazz Festival (Indianapolis) will be held tomorrow 9/27. The festival was scaled back to one day (from three) this year due to financial difficulties (weather realted) with the previously organization. It will go back to a full three days in 2004. This years line-up includes: The Count Basie Big Band w/ Patty Austin (Tribute to Ella) Terence Blanchard Sextet Arron Parks Trio Hilton Ruiz Quartet Buddy Montgomery (brother of Wes) The Hampton Sisters (of Slide Hampton) Buselli Walarab Jazz Orchestra (great) Cathy Morris The Following night there is another show (not part of the Indy Jazz Fest) at the Fountain Square Theater with the this Line-up (all born or raised in Indianapolis). Freddie Hubbard Slide Hampton w/ the Hampton Sisters James Spaulding Buddy Montgomery Melvin Rhyne Billy Wooten (long forgotten) Pookie Johnson Jimmy Coe Phil Ranelin and many others If any of you are in the neighborhood and can make it, drop me a line! I will be photographing both show and will try to post some of my work if I can figure out how to do it! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Bummer! I'm at work today, emceeing at the Lotus Festival here in Bloomington tonight, and at work again tomorrow night... Anybody in the Indiana area should really try to make these shows, esp. that Sunday night one at the Fountain Square Theater (in a really cool, historic old part of Indpls.). Have a great time, sheldonm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
