I'm very cautiously optimistic that the lineup will start shifting back to jazz, since they have a new programmer. We'll see.

I'm actually anticipating it will have even less jazz content as has been the case for most "jazz" festivals these days.

Interesting. Even though I don't know 2/3rds of these groups, there are some folks I'd love to see (e.g. Charles Lloyd, The Bad Plus, etc.) What do you think? Anybody know any of these other names ,you'd recommend?
