Rosslyn Jazz Festival
I love jazz and I live in Arlington, but a combination of events (usually business travel) has kept me from attending the Rosslyn Jazz Festival - that streak ends this Saturday. Find me at Gateway Park (at Lee Highway and North Lynn Street - a mere 2 blocks from the Rosslyn Metro). From 1:00 - 7:00 p.m., a line-up of solid jazz musicians will be playing for free (and people I’ve paid good money to see at the Kennedy Center) including Hiromi. If you’re not sure if you like jazz and want to check out a good mix of piano, trumpet, jazz vocals, and fusion, this is a great place to try it on without a cover or a two drink minimum. More details available at the Arlington Cultural Affairs office.

So, how did you like the Festival? How did you like the Larry Coryell trio with special guesting drummer Alphonse Mouzon?

I ended up down in Hampton Roads at Bay Days instead watching Morris Day and the Time. Did you go? How was Hiromi?

Wow, do have to decide to see Coryell, Bailey, Mouzon or Morris Day..how great!! I love all of them!

They still do that with the mirror
And all the dances. There’s a lot of filler in between of course - it is, after all, twenty two years later, but he can still move and get everyone else moving.
