The 34th edition of the festival had solid music throughout, some as blistering as the June sun. Freihofer's Saratoga Jazz Festival remains one of the finest events in the northeast region of the U.S. and it could be argued that the festival stands on as good a ground as any. It will be typical that as the calendar turns into 2012, there will already be rumbling about what will be on the docket for festival number 35.
