Left to our own devices, a gentle night in followed by a chilled Sunday. Congo Square Rythms Festival in Louis Armstrong Park with loadsajazz on one stage, African dancing on the other.
Sunday also means even more bands performing in the streets.
Were thinkin’ about takin’ a jump-on-jump-off bus but we’ve covered most of the stops.
Tickets booked for 22.30 starting Hot 8 Brass Band gig in Warehouse District. The music just continues … The hottish band 6 grow to 10 horns, play for an hour then choose someone’s birthday to move outside & suddenly stop. Weird feeling to be left outside with no music. We take an Uber home.
Next morning Chris realises he’s left his credit card at last night’s venue as he didn’t ‘close the account’. We pick it up en route to contemporary artists’ studios. We have probably our best meal of the trip at Bessame, a tribute to really classy Latino dishes, followed by sittin’ at the bar of The Mahogany Jazz Hall, amazed at how such a small venue can serve so much to so many whilst quality jazz bands do their ‘tin’.
