Last minute, The Reet agreed to spend some pre-Yankees Saturday at the 2012 Hartford Festival of Jazz at Bushnell Park. Surprisingly hot (the weather, not The Reet, who was unsurprisingly hot). Arrived at five, caught sets of Matt Marshak and Elan Trotman; finished with a couple numbers from Jeff Golub, who seemed more blues-slanted. Not a big fan of the smooth jazz genre, but the setting at Bushnell Park was pretty cool - people-watching, lots of food/merchandise vendors. Waited in line for some shrimp n chips at Seafood Express, but left after 20 minutes.
Festival continues on Sunday, starting with a Dixieland Jazz Mass at Christ Church Cathedral. Johnny K, the Heathen, will be watching the British Open since Gene Z failed to get us a Sunday morning tee time.
1:00 pm - Gates Open
3:00 pm - Destiny Africa Children's Choir
4:30 pm - Dana Lauren
6:00 pm - Afro-Semitic Experience
7:30 pm - Hartford Symphony Orchestra Jazz & Strings
