Jazz Fest '08 On The Way

The 30th Annual Jazz Festival is going to be coming up this August 29th. Again, it will be joyous gathering of fans and creators of jazz, all stepping out to celebrate a significant and cherished piece of our national heritage and african-american identity.  As you probably know, the schedule is already out for this year's extravaganza and I'm sure eyes have scoured it in search of one or several acts in which you may have a peculiar interest. Personally, I am quite eager to see Ornette Coleman and Sonny Rollins for the first time. Are there any acts that are absent from the schedule that you think should have made the lineup? Maybe we can find a way to have them on next year...

This is the best lineup in

This is the best lineup in years...maybe over a decade, in my opinion...Sonny, Ornette, Gerald Wilson, Eddie Palmieri...plus young(er) innovators like Dave Douglas and Vijay Iyer.
