10th Rochester International Jazz Fest and Mobile Viewing

Well, it's time for me to start blogging again ... not that any of you will actually be reading it since my hiatus has been looonnngg.

Anyway, we hit Jazz Street last night with no particular plan as it was very late. Joe had a private gig, so I didn't meet him down there until a little after 9:00. We hung out by the Verizon Big Tent so he could grab some grub, then headed down Jazz Street to hear Mingo Fishtrap. I kept tweeting about them, but my auto spell feature turned them into Mongo Fishtrap. I just deleted those tweets because I was too busy listening to their great sound and moving to their infectious groove. The crowd, which was huge, loved them. We only saw about half their set at the free Jazz Street Stage, but they will be back tonight in the Verizon Tent. Since Joe was kind enough give me a Club Pass for Christmas, I can go see them if I'm down there.

I just set my blog up for mobile viewing. It worked, and if you're reading this on your Blackberry or Droid, it should be looking good.

If time permits, I will lay out my RIJF plans for the next couple of days later today. The big day, for me, is Friday when Prime Time Funk will hit the Jazz Street stage for two shows, 7:15 and 9:15. It's been quite a while - hell, it's been way too long - since they've been at the Jazz Fest, so come on down and dance with me!

yours in music (and dancing),
Tracy
