Great lineup! I'll be there Monday night at least.

Normally I would be all over this, but Rocco runs it Labor Day Weekend, and I normally go to the Telluride Film Festival each Labor Day weekend. So I missed last year's installment and might miss this year. However, I might have to forgo Telluride, in which case I'll try to attend as much of this as possible. I hope it cools down by then!

I went yesterday and it was excellent. Looking forward to today. was particularly impressed by Dave Douglas & Brass Ecstasy (a very fun set to end the evening) and by the Satoko Fujii Four. I had never heard of the latter before the show (although I had heard Mark Dresser and Jim Black, on bass & drums in the 4), but they really played superbly and wowed the house in their late-afternoon slot. Superb interaction among them.
