The Jazz festival was absolutely wonderful. The artist were up close and personal as well as on their A game. Each one greeted the audience with much appreciation to their fans for their longevity. We all returned the love back to the artist who awarded us with one-on-one time after their sets. The crowd was respectful to each other and a good time was had by all. I can't wait for next year!!
This was my first time, but definitely not my last time going to this Jazz festival. The crowd was great, no drama that I saw from anyone, everyone was just having a good time. The only negative I saw was in the tents area. They were clusterred together tighter than ten toes in a pair of shoes. The park should have had this organized better in this area.
I enjoyed my self, it was wonderful. I especially like when the entertainers inter-act with the audience by coming out into the audience, even going out to those faithful fans in the lawn. The change overs were great, not a lot of time wasted. Also the fact that the two stages times were off by 30 minutes gives me time to check out both acts if I want to.
It's was FABULOUS as always. The music is always great and the people are fantastic. NO bickering or being rude. Just a good mellow time being had by all. The weather was also great this year. A bit cloudy on Sat. a.m. but over all a beautiful weekend. It's an annual thing for me and my crew and each year there are more and more of us. Kudos to WHUR.
This was my first time attending this remarkable event. I enjoyed it so much. I was very impressed with how welll it was organized with the number of people that were there. The show itself was truly awesome. I have told many of my associates and friends abnout this event and many of them plan to attend next year. I cannot wait for next years event.
Will Downing is back! His voice sounds great. Sounds as though he never missed a beat. I think all of the acts were awesome. The really put some thought into the artist for this year.
The Cap Jazz Fest is a wonderful weekend. It is one of the highlights of my summer. I went on Saturday only but managed to see Leela James, Regina Belle, Rahsaan Patterson, Will Downing, Maysa, and Raheem DeVaughn within a matter of hours! It was amazing. Imagine yourself, gazing at the stars while being serenaded by the musical artistry of Rahsaan and Leela. Can you imagine all of these great singers in one venue? It is a music lover's dream! I plan to go back next year and stay the entire weekend. Folks had their picnic baskets, camp gear, and coolers. It was a great vibe- just relaxing and enjoying the good music! I loved it!
I have attended the festival every year for the last 10+ years. I felt that this year's line up was not as powerful as other years. Some of the artist that close should not have been the "closers". Stil had a great time.
Really an enjoyable time to spend with family and friends. Also you meet great people, mingle with great people and create relationships with similar interest, The Love of Music
The entire Jazz Fest was truly outstanding! The crowd that we sat near were true lovers of the performers and came just to see them perform. We sat on the law and had a great view for the stage and the big screens. It was as if everyone was at their own private concert with surround sound from the crowd. Next year I will stay at the hotel in Columbia, so I won't have to worry about driving home after being on such a nature music high. I want to be able to bask in all the after parties too. The Jazz Fest just gets better and better each year.
after much rain during the proceeding week relief was met at the festival! the music brought out much needed sunshine from within my soul lifting me above my concerns and daily stresses.
The event was wonderful despite the mud we had a wonderful time and are looking forward to next year. The variety of artist, vendors and music was just right. The best was that the crowd was so into the music that you did not realize how many people you were surrounded by.
The festival this year was AMAZING. The line-up on both stages was fabulous! Our only problem was how to see all the acts as some performances overlapped!! Get there early for a good spot!!
Chaka Khan was great. Fourplay were the real deal. We enojoyed Will Downing as we always do, especially when he brought Maysa out. Eric Essix is too cool. Rahsaan Patterson is a wild dude. You can never get enough of Phil Perry.
