Jazz is alive and kickin' in Hartford CT

Nothin' better than live jazz, and there is lots of it here in the Hartford Connecticut area. This weekend is the Hartford International Jazz Festival with live jazz music all night downtown in many different venues. Check it out at www.hijf.com. If you are seeing this Saturday or Sunday, and live in the Hartford area, attend some of these gigs. Support Jazz music in downtown Hartford! I will be checking out the Lou Donaldson Quartet featuring Dr. Lonnie Smith on Saturday, and Cyrus Chestnut with Eric Alexander on Sunday. Also, there are great local artists playing in nightclubs downtown after the concerts. I'll be checking out those too. We also attended a great concert at the University of Connecticut with the young piano phenom Eldar Djangirov. So this podcast features Eldar, Dr. Lonnie Smith and Eric Alexander, all of which are performing in the Hartford area. How great is that!
