Sunday evening I had the pleasure of enjoying a great FREE outdoor Jazz concert with my parents. The Miller Outdoor theater here in Houston host a series of great concerts sponsored by the local public radio station. One very good thing about Houston is it's fall weather, unlike NYC you can have an amazing evening of listening to music outside when it's nearly November and the temp outside is close to 70 :)
It's only in the last few years that I have really grown to appreciate Jazz, especially when I hear it live. Perhaps it's largely attributed to the fact that my first and only visit to Carnegie Hall while living in NYC was to hear the great Jazz musician David Brubeck. So when I heard about this past Sundays concert I was excited but a little unsure about it's main guest Ann Hampton Callaway. In the end I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it though I have never been into that type of Jazz Performer/ Broadway entertainer type :) Oh yes and she was accompanied by my Alma mater's (U of H) jazz orchestra too!
Although I have to say the whole evening was pretty great just to begin with for the shear fact that I was sitting under the stars on a beautiful night and I had managed to bring both my parents out to "downtown" on a Sunday night :P
"This Health Coverage poster speaks about the 40 million Americans living in the world's wealthiest economy without health insurance. It is beyond comprehension how we spend trillions on wars but there is not enough to protect the health of our own citizens, including children. Vote for Barack to change this injustice!"
"So many reasons. But the one I feel in my gut is this: When I look at Barack Obama's life story, I see America."
