Jazz Music (aka Culture! Right here in Worcester!)

So last night some friends and I decided to do something cultural (not quite making our quota of one Worcester-based cultural event per rotation, but close enough), and went to Mechanics Hall to see the Monterey Jazz Festival on their 50th anniversary tour. Although it was never fully explained why or how a festival can go on tour with 6 individual musicians, it was an awesome concert. The sax/flute player was 82 (!) years old, and the trumpet player just won a Grammy. We also felt very grown up (and thus like imposters) by drinking wine and schmoozing with members of the Worcester District Medical Society before the show. Until one of us (she remains nameless) (but not me) fell asleep during the show and then we collectively whined about the coat check line afterwards. Then I felt we were acting our age(s).
