Heading to the Telluride Jazz Festival and Streaming Audio

In a well timed escape from the heat and humidity of the DFW area, I am heading west to the Telluride Jazz Festival for a change of pace. I have not been to this area of Colorado since I was a kid and thought it was a good warm-up for next month when I return for the Blues and Brew Festival.  Oh, the sacrifices I make……

 

I was a bit bummed when I learned last week that Arturo Sandoval had cancelled, but they still have a strong lineup that will be highlighted by John Scofield.

John is the “Guest of Honor” for this festival and I have been looking forward to this since I saw him playing at the Mountain Jam with Phil Lesh and Friends. I will certainly be front and center when he teams up with John Medeski and Adam Deitch.

WWOZ 90.7 FM out of my native New Orleans will be doing live streaming audio from the festival grounds all weekend. Click here and hit the Listen Online button on the upper right hand side.
