Day off. I had an interesting dream this morning. I dreamt that some downtown venue had a big outdoor jazz concert, but the bands were pretty bad. I was sitting next to Mark Southerland, however, and during a break in the performances, he started to play some music on a horn he brought into the show, and then a bunch of other musicians started playing in the audience with instruments they brought in response, and they took over the show with an improptu performance by the audience. I thought then, wouldn't it be great to have "The Crossroads Jazz Festival" at Stretches' beer garden where the bands would start playing at another venue, like an art gallery or bar, then would board a float, and enter the beer garden playing on the float after parading mardi gras style through the crossroads.
