The midnight jam was… great!!!
We’ve attended the festival about 4 times and this was the 1st time we went to the Midnight Jam… My only regret is that we waited so long to go, should have been doing this all along…
An artist, Najee, would show up play for a while then another artist, Nick Colionne would come and play with him… Some of the guest artist I didn’t know by name but it didn’t matter, they were all outstanding. Plus we liked to ‘freeness’ of the artist laughing and joking around… nothing was scripted or a playlist already penned. Everything was freewheeling and fun.
Next year we WILL attend more of the midnight jams.
Funny moment:
Gerald said to this young saxophonist (can’t remember his name but was real good), “Youngster I’m going to give you some advice. 1. Never piss in the wind. 2. Never tug on superman’s cape and 3. Don’t ever touch Nick Colionne’s hat”… lol. You had to be there to see the ‘hat exchange’…
