| the sax pack in santa rosa, fl The Sax Pack has been touring together for the past couple of years off and on, but is more exclusively touring now that their new disc hit the streets in March. The three of them (Jeff Kashiwa, Kim Waters, and Steve Cole) strutted out onto the stage with attitude and poise. read the review |
| the 2008 berks jazz festival For the 2008 Berks Jazz Festival, SmoothViews decided that pictures were worth 1000 words! We asked smooth jazz fans and photographers, Kat Saracco and Tony Webb to help us out by sharing some of the great moments they captured in photos of the events on stage. read the review |
| jacksonville jazz festival I had a whirlwind weekend all set up. The week of "Less Is More." Al Jarreau in a smaller, more intimate setting, The Palm Beach Jazz Festival celebrating its second year with a stellar lineup, and a considerably downsized Jacksonville Jazz Festival. In the case of Jarreau and the Jacksonville Festival, the downscaling created wonderful experiences. As for Palm Beach, less became truly less as the festival was canceled amidst much drama and confusion. It probably worked out better. Instead of scooting all over the state and trying to avoid troopers with radar, I got to experience three days of powerful music. read the review |
