Know only half of names on the list, not a fan of Amina Figarova, saw Dianne Reeves few years ago live. Angelique Kidjo sings somewhere near my hometown few times every year. I expect Joe Lovano was a real headliner though.

An article in the paper which sums up the festival.  It appears that weather and an appearance to the city by President Obama put a damper on things but it appears as though there were still some highlights.  http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20110906/ENT04/109060311/1032/ent/Jazz-fest-keeps-things-hot-despite-storm--traffic

Its too far to drive from Memphis, sounds like a cool festival though.

Any chance that anyone will be making it up to Detroit for this festival this weekend?  There is a small possibility that I might stop by after the Tigers' game on Saturday, but it is probably unlikely.

This guy Rafael Ricky Statin attended my high school.  http://www.detroitjazzfest.com/11lineuprafael2.html
 Clap  Granted he was born 2 years after I graduated.  Man I am getting old.

This Labor Day weekend will featured the 32nd annual edition of the Detroit Jazz Festival.  Hopefully some of you can make it over to Detroit for this event.  http://www.detroitjazzfest.com/11lineup.html
