The Jazz weekend sponsored by Jazz Lives at Chautauqua Institution Sept. 17 – 20, 2009, was again a success After 12 years the weekend continues to grow and become a part of the activities and atmosphere of the Chautauqua Institution.
The weekend’s weather was perfect for September in Chautauqua County. It made walking around the grounds while enjoying the music a perfect experience in relaxation and entertainment.
I didn’t find any you tubes of the performers that participated at the weekend event but what really struck me this weekend is how timeless jazz is and whether you like piano, trumpet or the sax, there is a style of Jazz that you will enjoy.
As the weekend wrapped up, I gathered my new collection of CD’s and said my goodbyes to my friends, many of which I will not see until next year and the Jazz weekend.
