Catching up with playlists, slightly truncated (started at 3 pm) but a fun show. Again (like most shows these days) mainly jazz festival preview, but also nods to some other gigs, the cd release concerts for both the Cory Weeds and the Houle/Smulovitz cds. Also some stuff from Return to Forever from the new anthology, and I was right - that was a really fun gig!

Now that the festival's over (whew!) I can catch up with the playlists; as every year, the first Friday's show featured artists playing in the first week of the festival - I was halfway through the show before I got past the artists playing the first two nights and I didn't even play any Herbie Hancock! Lotsa phone calls and scuttlebutt (I got the call that Frisell had cancelled just as the last notes of Grapevine were fading out), but overall great way to get into the festival vibe .. N

As promised (and as usual) for the last Friday's show of the Jazz Fest, mainly featured artists performing at the festival through the last weekend and the Nation's birthday natch. Not quite as frenzied as the week before with not quite as many artists to cover but still ran out of time before I played everything I wanted. Great fest this year! ... N
