Satchmo Fest 2011 - New Orleans

New Orleans "Satchmo" Festival was awesome!

Just a quick note to say we had a great time at the Satchmo Festival last weekend. I highly recommend every trumpet player and anyone interested in jazz book your trip to New Orleans for the 2012 event NOW. I'll write more on this topic soon...after I finish the next horn and work with the next two clients flying in to visit the shop today and tomorrow...man, things are busy around here!

Thank you to everyone at the non-profit, French Quarter Festivals and special thanks to Heather!

Jamming at the end of the festival with Shamarr Allen, Kermit Ruffins, Yoshio Toyama and finalists in the youth jazz competition.
