This years festival kicked off on Saturday with the annual Mardi Gras in the Grassmarket, then Jazz on a summers day, a free concert in the Ross Bandstand in Princes St Gardens yesterday, attended by a number of dancers from Edinburgh for the annual picnic:waycool: .....I Got an invite to do a set at a swing event in the Carlton Highland Hotel on Saturday night, alongside Lenny Love of Vegas fame and a few other DJs. Lots of well cool swing dancers there including Ryan Francois & Jenny Thomas. Went to see Ryan & Jenny perform with their troop last night at the Jam House. Two bands playing ....Big band called 9.30 De Luxe, and main attraction for me was Casey McGill's Blue 4 Trio. They were absolutely superb. At times I forgot I was listening to a live band, as they were so tight and slick:waycool: A whole week of top line Jazz & Blues to be enjoyed this week......just need to find some time...............
