Jazz Feast 2012

Palmer Square's Jazz Feast had its act together, with a sign out on Nassau to grab the attention of all the humanity flowing by.
Though one longtime Princeton resident stubbornly ignored the proceedings,
the combination of jazz, food and perfect weather filled the square.
I arrived in time to hear the Claudio Roditi Septet play a mix of jazz and Brazilian sambas, given some authenticity by the large samba drum, the surdo, to the right of the percussionist, followed by a marvelous set by New York-based jazz vocalist, Catherine Russell.

Worthy of note was the thought put in to recycling, with the pairing of clearly marked recycling containers and trash containers. It don't mean a thing if you can't make that fling.
