DAMN!! Oh Man, I'm drooling already!

to tell the truth I like the Jacksonville Lineup better: Maysa, Boney, Tower of Power, Peter White, Bob Baldwin, Chris Botti, Ramsey Lewis and Nancy Wilson, Jane Monheit, Joshua Redmans new progressive band and Pieces of a Dream..plus ongoing straightahead jazz at a nearby venue..and it's free! Free is always good!

Sigh!! Damn you! :p

I'm probably going to hit the Sunday event.

George Duke
Stanley Clarke
Walter Beasley
Keiko Matsui
Mike Phillips
Patti Austin
Hidden Beach Unwrapped Allstars

Shannon, I am with you on the free part and to top it off George Duke is at City Jazz Universal Studios tonight and it is Free. Florida is slowly getting back into the swing of things and it is about time.

Sigh! I hate you guys!!

I think I'm going to pass on Capital this year and do America's Jazz Fest @ Merriweather instead. It's 5/31 and 6/1 - the weekend before Capital.

I thought I heard them say on the radio that they've added Steve Oliver, but I'm not sure. I was getting ready for work, and only halfway listening, so I don't know if that's what I heard. I hope it was.

I'm just ticked off about those (censored word) Ticketmaster service charges. Burns me up!

that is a great lineup too..

If you actually go to a ticket outlet that has a ticketmaster computer and buy your tickets you can save a lot of money on service charges even if you are buying for an out of town concert..I always go in person here and there is one little service charge but ordering online I have had as much as 15 bucks in SCs tacked on..as opposed to about 2.50. It's worth the drive..

Hey Libra Lady,
Steve will indeed be playing America's Jazz Fest. He'll be there on June 1 at "High Noon". Check Steve's site for details. Have fun at the festival!

Cool! Thanks Robert! Looking forward to seeing Steve perform live. It will be my first time seeing him.

(Sigh!) Yeah, what David said!!

I wanna see Steve-O!!!!!

omigod yall are gonna flip out..as if it were possible Steve O gets better and is even more fun every time I see him. He totally owned a crowd that was mostly not familiar with him at the start. If you have any chance to see him make the trip..as for me I have made trips..now I want him to come here. People loved him at the free outdoors gigs he did with Bamboo..theyll totally go nuts now!

lets play festival trade-off. Donna..I'll trade you a Chris Botti for a Chuck Loeb. I would rather have him here..especially if Mike R. is on keyboards, buy his CD!!! (see my other post on him!)

just what I needed, 2 more festivals to think about....

I have been wanting to see Mike Phillips, he seems so cool and fun on his bet jazz show.

But to see DTTB again....

Oh, you poor thing, having too many jazz festivals to choose from!! :p *mutter, mutter*

I hate you guys too! (not really!) << insert jealous emoticon here

Nope! Not gonna trade! :p I just saw Chris last year...but I've never seen Chuck! Besides, I wanna get him to sign my Metro CD's!!
