Lisi, Snowb and I were able to be in Copenhagen, Denmark for the famous Jazz Festival last summer, which we LOVED, and so we jumped at the chance when we heard there was going to be a Jazz Festival at Thanksgiving Point this weekend. It was a little different than what we expected, but it turned out to be very entertaining and fun!! Jazz is my favorite type of music so I thorougly enjoyed myself!
We were expecting more of a Big Band show with singing and what not, but this was a performance to end a 2-day high school jazz festival. BUT, they did bring in some of the big guns. I don't know how much you're into Jazz or if you'll recognize these people, but they're verrrrrry famous.
John Faddis.....famous trumpet player.....this guy is quite the character! He was being a goof all night and cracking jokes. If you watch either of these videos, definitely watch this one and you'll see what I mean about being a goof (he's the one on the right). This isn't from the Jazz Festival, but just a little something to give you a taste of him.
Frank Catalano.....famous sax player.....very talented! This is probably his most famous song, which he did perform at the Jazz Festival as well.
