Again at the Paris Jazz Festival

Again and again we keep going to the Paris Jazz Festival, but we cannot help it. Music is usually brilliant, and the surroundings gorgeous, and even if you are not interested at all in the music, you can always sit on the grass and enjoy the sunny and hot weather.




Highly enjoyable was the blues weekend, with the concerts of Patrick Verbeke Quintet and Jean Jacques Milteau Quintet, that included one of the best guitar players I've listened to recently. But not only that, at first all of us had the impression that the singer in the band of Jean Jacques Milteau had a rather soft voice for a blues singer.... until she stopped holding herself, stepped aside from the microphone and started singing with her full voice!! (and probably a few people at the end of the open concert hall were projected into the lake behind!!). Another CD to order from Amazon...




On the following weekend the concerts might not have been that interesting, but the weather and the park was, so... we had a nice picnic with pleasant jazz background music.
