OT: Hartford Jazz Festival

[Kitaman]

It's this weekend. They do a new nice job and the weather will be fabulous. I'm not connected but I can't help yelling about free stuff.

If you got a lady (or man) and are looking for a cheap date, this is the spot for an evening of chilling. Good with friends too.

I'll be away this weekend, but I highly recommend Donald Harrison (6 pm Sunday). Great sax player from New Orleans.

Last year with Gerald Albright and Jonathan Butler was just great. BTW, coolers welcome.

Not exactly the olde Newport.

I agree in terms of ambiance and vendors. Some years however Hartford has grabbed some damn good talent. Johnathan Butler, Joyce Cooling and many others.

Its smaller and allows a comfortable setting. My issue (like my other thread) is at night out come the phones, huge arse tablets held by people standing up (obstructing view) filming.

I also wonder do people plan on watching the video later? I mean you are right there live. I just don't get it.

Yes. I just pay the $5. and park in that lot across the street.

I'm sorry, that's just silly.
