Well, I really didn’t realize how much I had been missing, but now that I’m back from the JazzFest, I am sure as shooting going to be back as frequently as providence permits. It’s just a glorious gathering of people all pretty much united in their intention to have a good time, without being a completely debaucherous mess. More music than you could possibly see.

Huge thanks to Mike and Karen for hosting me for the weekend, and huge thanks to all the musicians and everyone else who puts this event on. It’s definitely a major operation and it’s not like it’s for free or anything — but it is still a treasure.

Selected photos can be found in this gallery, and below, my first two YouTube uploads. Not real great video, but at least with the audio, you get an additional taste of the action.
