san jose jazz festival...

This past weekend...

Went on Sunday to watch a tribute to the late great Grover Washington Jr.. The leader of the band sounded nothing like Grover- actually his sax playing was fair @ best...

Luckily, sax players Ronnie Laws and Tom Scott were special guests. Without those two- the tribute would have been horrible...

Tower of Power also played on Sunday. Don't understand why TOP plays @ a jazz fest? Saw them earlier in the summer @ the San Mateo County Fair.
They're good, but Tower of Power doesn't play enough of their hits. Don't think I'll make a concerted effort to see them again...

But all and all, the SJ Jazz Fest was a great way to spend a weekend in the South Bay...
