Beantown Jazz Festival

Chris and I went in to the Beantown Jazz Festival on Columbus Ave today.

It was a lot of fun. They had three stages going all day long. Plus lots of tents serving great food from places like Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and Brazil.

Our favorite band of the day was Matt Savage‘s quartet.

They were really swinging, and they played several of Matt’s wonderful compositions. Plus they had Bobby Watson playing with them for most of the set.

It was a beautiful fall day in Boston, and the crowd was great.

The crowd did include a few characters like this guy …

… who was riding around on the handlebars of his master’s bike.

And finally, here’s one more picture of Bobby Watson, just ’cause.
