You missed it if you weren’t there…seriously…this news just in:  THE MID ATLANTIC JAZZ FESTIVAL WAS OFF THE HOOK!

Held at the same hotel where the legendary East Coast Jazz Festival once set up shop – God Bless you, Ronnie Wells – Paul Carr, his lovely wife and the Jazz Academy brought back the swing, good times and smiling faces to Rockville.  It was great.  Here are my highlights:

-hangin’ with my man Wes Biles and Jeff Neal on jam session that went from midnight to 2 am.  Quiet Storm!!!

-alto great Bobby Watson sort of/kind of/slightly knowing who I am!  Wow!

-The EBT/BRB set on Sat at noon.  Swingin with 2 teenagers that are products of Paul’s Academy.  We all done lost our jobs to these cats

-Sunday’s brunch with Lavenia

-seeing my favorite jazz fan Ms. Barbara

-bumping into Terrell Stafford, hearing the Anderson Twins and the Jolley Bros, the tribute to Bird…wowwie

It was all fantastic.  As Paul said Sunday, “See you in 51 weeks”.
