I've been attending this annual event for the past five years or so. Only two and a half hours from Baltimore, in the grand city of Reading, PA, you can see some of the world's greatest jazz performers, along with some very good new talent in the area. This year the Berks Jazz Fest runs from March 25 through April 3, and features the likes of legendary performers ranging from, Al Jarreau and George Duke, to journeyman pros like Gerald Albright and Chuck Loeb. There's a little something for everyone at this shindig. This year's lineup features Jeff Lorber, Will Downing, Randy Brecker, Kirk Whalum, Peter White, Norman Brown, Brian Culbertson and Richard Elliot. And I'm not even halfway through.
If you're a bass aficionado, you won't want to miss Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten - on the same stage. Go to http://www.berksjazzfest.com/. See for yourself.
