Highlights from the 36th Annual Chicago Jazz Festival

The 2014 Chicago Jazz Festival was a big success. George and I had a blast performing, the Yestet killed it, and the other bands were smokin’.  Howard Reich had some nice things to say about some of the groups and about George and I.

Here are some highlights:

1. The set with George Freeman 4tet
