Jazztival
Morelia has an International Jazz Festival. Who knew?
The festival is called "Jazztival" so I was expecting the worst - lots of Soprano Sax and Flute and a slew of horrible names. I can excuse a lot of cheesiness but Jazz has a lot to answer for. What kind of disturbed childhood causes you to create the "word" Saxual?
Yes, I've seen Dan Moretti live...
...in Rhode Island...(is that an excuse?)...
and no, I don't want to talk about it.
However, in this case, I was very pleasantly surprised. For only $6 we were treated to three hours of quality jazz in the outdoor courtyard of the 400 year old cultural center. In fact, the local hero, Juan Alzate, plays a pretty mean Tenor. On Saturday night we even saw the fireworks from the cathedral overhead during the concert. Cool.
And no cheesy names or flutes.
