JAZZ IT UP PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAURA ZOLMAN KIRK
Although it was rainy and unseasonably chilly in early May, The Blue Note Grill was warm and alive with excitement for musical guest The Soul Rebels. The community gathered for the free concert, dubbed the President’s Party, which marked the launch of the Art of Cool Festival that extended throughout the weekend. Key musical highlights for the festival included Terence Blanchard, The Internet and PJ Morton. DM
