"I Heard That" -- Fillmore Jazz Festival on the 4thRochelle Metcalfebyline‚ Jul. 09‚ 2008GREAT July 4th weekend hanging out in the City! SUNDAY strolled on DA MO’ taking in the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival; always fun to see folks seldom seen, listen to music, eat, all that good stuff! The Festival, 24th Annual, enhanced this year due to the Lower Fillmore Jazz Heritage District’s new venues Yoshi’s and popular 1300 on Fillmore Restaurant located on the corner of Fillmore and Eddy where my day started at the invitation of Ave Montague to join her for the marvelous Sunday Brunch (the pancakes were absolutely my favorite item on the menu). Seen at 1300...pretty Barbara Rodgers...Keith Jackson with his family; Claudia Polley and family that included daughter vocalist Amanda King who kicked off the Ellis Street stage at 10 (missed her act, saxophonist Bobbie ‘Spider” Webb and his unit were setting up...the HAT LADY - Ruth Dewson waiting for them to perform). Engaged in brief conversation with Claudia who lived in Paris. Happy I brought pictures taken during my visit to Gay Paree in April to share with Ave. |
