The Seabreeze Jazz Festival is an annual event that draws a crowd of distinct energy. I’m confident that the magnetic pull is from a line up of upcoming artist like Ryan Montano to the smooth jazz heroes of Brian Culbertson and Al Jarreau. Since my mom is an extremely diligent worker and fabulous at making connections, this marks her third year behind the scenes. Now, I’m lucky enough to work along side her!
We arrived early each morning in order to set up and prepare for the eager attendees. Here’s a shot of the venue before the controlled chaos began.
I didn’t get the memo that there would be a race for a good seat, so you can imagine my concern when I saw several people sprinting. Should I run too, what are they running from!?
Here’s a few photos I took during the weekend to give you an idea of the crowd. Packed solid and happy as can be!
A new addition to my playlist is the stunning, talented and ever so entertaining Mindi Abair. How can you turn away from a tall blonde in high heels wailing on a saxaphone?!
You’ve seen our view, now check out theirs!
If you’re concerned about a Florida storm brewing (we were), not to worry as the accomplished musicians will play rain or shine… and the fans? Well, they won’t go anywhere except back in line for more wine and a poncho! My favorite fella during the rain was the happy goer that simply placed a plastic grocery bag over his “fancy hat” to protect it from the moisture. Brilliant!
Creative shot of the day was the use of a small camera effect while watching the storm roll in.
