A wonderful Jazz By The Bay 2017, Despite some threatening weather
Dear Members and Friends,
For those of you who are wondering what impact Hurricane Nate had on our Annual Jazz By The Bay Festival this past weekend, We can tell you it was minimal. Despite the threatening weather, the festival attracted a big and responsive crowd Friday night as the rain mercifully held off. But because of the grim Sat. forecast, we prudently moved the Sat.. schedule to the Shrimp Boat restaurant right down the street. The management allowed us to set-up in the large main dining area so we were able to complete our entire scheduled program in air-conditioned comfort in front of packed room. (However, we did cancel the Arnold High Jazz Band set to kick-off Saturday's program for logistical reasons.) So, thankfully, we defied the elements and were able to mount a successful festival. A big thanks to the musicians for their forbearance, to the volunteers or Board members and the Shrimp Boat for all the last minute adjustments.
