An Extra Treat at the Somerville Jazz Festival

Made it to Somerville in time to catch all of Louis Hayes' set—the set list included some Monk, some Coltrane, some Adderley... Hubbard and Shorter tunes. Terrific! I took a Bloggie, hoping to capture at least one performance but forgot to change the settings—after getting about 2 minutes of the opening tune, the memory card was full and the camera jammed up ... but I did get this video of the mayor of Somerville, Brian Gallagher, declaring Sept. 12 as “Louis Hayes Day" in Somerville.



Here's Louis showing off his proclamation:



Wouldn't it have been great to have captured a bit of the performance—especially since Hayes brought Javon Jackson out! What a great treat!
