Today's picture comes to you live from the City of Iowa City (it sounds funny to me too). We've enjoyed coming to the Iowa City Jazz Festival for many years since college, though we took a hiatus while in DC from 2005 - 2009. This is the twentieth year of the festival, and we have heard some great music today. The "jazz-i-ness" of some of the bands is more of a loose concept these days, such as this group, Public Property, who were more of a reggae band with a lead singer who also played ukelele. But this is fine by me, there's plenty of straightahead jazz to take in as well, so the variety is nice.
It's also pretty cool to have great music groups from New York City and elsewhere around the country continuing to come to the midwest for these types of festivals. We're pretty hip, folks...
Now that we're back in Iowa we're looking forward to attending many jazz festivals to come!
