It is refreshing to finally get the focus of Cape May on something exciting for the town, her people and the benefits to the visitors. Get out and hear some great Jazz.
This week Cape May is all about the music. Jazz music is about to explode in Cape May.
This year’s line up put together by Michael Kline is beyond exceptional. Rumor has it the popular Duke’s pass is just about sold out.
Last we checked only a handful of seats ( like 50 ) remained for the six-time Grammy award winner Dr. John and the Night Trippers.
Maybe last week you caught the Good Morning America introduction of the kid from Indonesia? An extraordinary and uniquely gifted pianist from Bali, Joey Alexander marked his recording debut with the release of My Favorite Things on April 14, 2015. The guy is incredibly talented considering there is barely any Jazz education in Bali.
Click this link for a sample of Joey and some background comments and introduction.
Clearly who ever has the chance to be in the audience for Joey’s performance is guaranteed to be astonished.
Given Saturday’s weather forecast, Jazz at the Estate on the grounds of the Physick Estate is bound to be one of the must be places of the year so far.
Friday’s Jazz fest line up is as follows: (Note venue changes for Night in Havana events)
