captial jazz festival - columbia, md
This year, we decided to give Capital Jazz Fest another try.  After the unsatisfactory experience we had there two years ago, we vowed to stay away.  And we did.  We stayed away for a whole year, but, like the siren’s song to the mythical Jason, we were lured back by the promise of an outstanding line-up.  What can I say?  We love good music, and, we were willing to take a chance again.  After all, we’ve got a history with Capital, and, you just don’t end such a long and satisfying relationship without trying to work things out.

guitars and saxes - cocoa beach, fl
Every version of G&S has had its own vibe. One rocked so hard it sent people like me into ecstasy and the "smooth and relaxing" crowd running for the earplugs (or the door), some leaned acoustic and a tad on the mellow side and some had high octane wailing saxes to spare. All of them have been high on the showmanship and camaraderie scale and every one I've seen has been downright fun. This one is one of the most musically diverse and it seems like even the regulars have taken it up a notch, or 10. They will be heating up the concert circuit all summer long. Whether it's your first or your 14th this is one you can't miss.
