Just love living here! If you are a jazz fan, living on the Monterey Peninsula is great. There is the Monterey Jazz Festival each year. During the rest of the year, several artists perform here. The Jazz and Blues Company has a great line up. The Sunset Center in Carmel offers a mix of jazz, popular, dance and theatre in it’s outstanding venue.
Last night, I was offered a grounds ticket to the Jazz Festival. I went with a couple of friends. One is an amateur jazz pianist who gets a few gigs around San Diego. They wanted to see Barbara Dennerlein and she does not disappoint. The place was jamming.
We also saw Kurt Elling singing Coltrane-Hartman arrangements with Ernie Watts. I’d never seen Kurt Elling before. He is very talented and very entertaining in his segues. He also featured an adorable vocalist Jamie Cullum. It is great that there is some young blood interested in performing jazz. Jamie is talented and very easy on the eyes.
