So far I’ve only seen this in print form, and when they put it online last year it was in the form of a inaccessible, unsearchable image, so as my public service for the day I’ve written out the schedule for the upcoming Kemah Boardwalk Jazz Festival, and added links to the artists where I could find them. I’d like to expand this with personnel of each group, so if you know who’s in what band let me know in a comment or email.

If you know of any additional links that should be up there let me know as well and I’ll update this accordingly. Except for the links this has been taken straight from the union newsletter. Thanks to Dennis Dotson for unconciously giving me a little push to put this on the web. Dennis is playing with Monstrosity, Bobby Shew, Sam Jackson, Warren Sneed, Sax No End, and Mike Wheeler; if you’re any sort of jazz fan you won’t want to miss a note that comes out of his horn.
Oh – WOW! That’s the weekend of my birthday, it it sounds like it would be something really fun to do for a change of pace! Thanks!!!
