The End of Jazzfest

Jazzfest ended today reasonably well. The weather was fair, and there were several great performers. My favorite act of today was Pete Fountain, maybe the greatest clarinetist ever. John Goodman came on stage to sing “When the Saints Go Marching In,” it was quite funny. Gregg Stafford’s Young Tuxedo Brass Band was also quite good.
