This is the music, that we give tribute to
They gave it to us, that's why we give it to you
The jazz music... the jazz music
-Gangstarr
The
Beantown Jazz Festival was dope as usual. but next year, J4DA realy, really, really needs to be up in that piece yo. There should be no excuses. Anything else would be uncivilized. both dailies had an
art-
icle and i took some
pictures. But it was a little different seeing how the
Berklee machine got put in motion. And while it' snot necessarily a bad thing, it still leaves a faint resemblance to gentrification yet i can quite put my finger on it precisely. oh well. and apparently my man Cee-Lo is branching out, so I gotta show love and say, Suppport the Ecelctic Kitchen!

I didn't run into you there yesterday, but that figures - I didn't see anyone there that I knew, which is a first.
I'd like to think that Berklee being involved will be a positive, but the jury is out. If it means more legends like McCoy Tyner, then it's a definite plus, but I'd feel better if it was Scullers that was involved on this level. There's a reason I rarely go to concerts at Berklee while going often to Scullers (heck, I go to the Regattabar more than I go to Berklee!)
Just seeing everyone out, watching old heads seeing friends they hadn't seen in years, seeing little babies dancing -- that was the best part. Just seeing folk outside.
