Jazz and Jamaica


Last Saturday there was an annual jazz band fest held at Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame. The fest began on Thursday and ended on Saturday. I attended on Saturday. There were bands from elementary school all the

way up to college. 

These are the performances I caught.  



I misplaced my program so I'm going on memory as to the identity of each of the bands.




During the bands' lunch break, I went next door to  Yeh Man Jamaican restaurant and picked up a mango and carrot juice. Since it was hot outside, I opted to stay inside the establishment drinking my beverage and listening to the reggae music that was playing. This is not a fancy place but it was clean and the owner was friendly. I'd had a large breakfast and so I didn't order from the menu. I do plan to try it out at a later date.

I'm assuming the flags have been turned this was to serve as wall hangings.


Reggae posters as well as a neighborhood bulletin board



The menu and a few aside notes for the public.

THAT'S IT for 10am until 12:30 pm for the day

  1. Yeah.. comments is back. Thanks for the beautiful compliment on my post. That jazz event sounds like a great evening and in the last few years have turned my ears to jazz. I am still trying to understand the various jazz genre. I like the various posts chronicling the events/goings-on in alabama.. making me want to take a vacation to my birthplace.
