Will thee SG OCNY: I ran a festival with 3 stages, running 1 of them. I've ran a stage at a 10 stage festival. I couldn't even imagine running a festival with 13 stages. Wild and amazing at the same time. I do want to make it to the New Orleans Jazz Fest sometime. Totally epic ⚜ ♥ 10:31am

Jason Isaac:

↳ Song: "Shy Voice" by "Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials"

Lil' Ed has been a big favorite of mine since I saw him in the house band of a blues jam at Rosa's Lounge in Chicago about ten years ago. He knocked me the hell out! Absolutely one of the great modern bluesmen. ♥ 10:44am
drr:

↳ Song: "Shy Voice" by "Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials"

I heard this from the other room and thought, "This sounds like the guy who sings 'Icicles In My Meatloaf'!" (cause it is.) ⚜ ♥ 10:45am

That was another place to chill and hear great old style jazz! ♥ 10:47am

doctorjazz:

↳ Song: "Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand" by "Steven Bernstein'...

Seen her with the Millenial Territory Orchestra a few times-strongly recommend seeing the orchestra if they're playing near you (in fact, pretty much any Steven Bernstein group is worth catching).(didn't realize she was Louis Russell's daughter) ⚜ ♥ 10:54am
Candy-O'67: Fantastic warmup show, Jason! Can't wait for next weekend's too! ♥ 10:55am
Jason Isaac: Thanks everybody! I hope this show helped everyone get in the Jazzfest spirit just a little bit. Next week will be more of the same, and that ain't a bad thing.

BTW, for those of you on the night shift, I'll be filling in for Jonathan Herweg on the WFMU mothership tomorrow night from 10 to midnight with a very different type of show. Maybe I'll see some of you there, but if not, let's meet right back here next Saturday. Have a great weekend!
