I know we all have our own J.F. agendas, but as we approach the fest I wanted to share my #1 pick: Chuck Brown, Sunday May 3, 3:00, Congo Square.
The "Godfather of D.C. Go Go," Chuck's best known song is probably "Bustin' Loose". The man is now in his mid-seventies, but as you will see in the video below, he has not slowed his roll. Hope you'll join me.

Why did they have to put him up against Neil Young? Similarily why the Nevilles up against the Soul Rebels? You friggin fartface Jazz Fest.
ReplyDeleteA little late with this comment, but I feel ya. I love some Neil as well. (Back on my o'ho tour of Ireland, shorty after I was nearly deported, I saw Neil Young play. At a castle. Needless to say, it was rockin'.) J.Fest always presents these dilemmas. We used to run around and try to see it all, and it just got annoying. Now I'm trying to a cue from Chuck Brown and just "party roll" my way around, and see what I see.
