Was all day Saturday at Orange County Classic Jazz Festival.
Very much pleased by the music and the festival itself.
Good representation from east of the Mississippi---and 
east of the Atlantic (Paris Washboard).
Everyone sounded good to me----but particularly impressed by
the music and showmanship of the Midiri Brothers.
Attendance seemed adequate----but the average age of
attendees was---well, ---old.
A new to the scene local group (SoCal, that is)--Campus Five---
played delightful small group swing ala BG sextet, Gramercy Five,
Count Basie Six, etc.  
Kudos to the folks that organized this very nice event.
