Great music, great band. We warmed up to the Fillmore Street Jazz Festival Jenna Mammina, a very smooth and scat-filled set. Jenna's albums are mostly Jazz, but she says she has a bluegrass album. I can't imagine what bluegrass scat sounds like, but her music can be found on emusic.com, so I am sure I will download and find out.http://www.jennamammina.com/
We thought the California Honeydrops were the band of the day. Their lead singer, Lech Wierzynski, thinks he is Wilson Pickett. This native Polish musician can cause you to remember how good Wilson Pickett songs are. They also write some wonderful soulful songs. One of our favorites was Carolina Peach. Lech is super talented, playing guitar and trumpet and great vocals. Again they are available on emusic.com and can be found on their website at
