Big Ears was a gas! There is NOTHING like live music!!!
For me, the highlight of the festival was Charles Lloyd's tribute to Zakir Hussain with Ganavya and Bill Frisell. I thought the entire performance was very moving.
Other high points included performances by Steve Coleman, Kris Davis, Fay Victor, Adam Rudolph, and Dan Weiss.
My only disappointment: I was hoping to see Wadada Leo Smith with Vijay Iyer. But the lines were so long that I didn't get in.
To the others who attended this year, what were your impressions?
