Bob
Baldwin has been a Dear Friend for over 15 years and to see him
involved both as a Performer and Co-Producer of this ELECTRIFYING
EXTRAVAGANZA is a Beautiful Thing! We now have a JAZZ FEST to look
forward to and enjoy after a 3 year absence of the Jackie Robinson Jazz
Fest. Hats off to Janice Peppers and Bob Baldwin for a much needed JAZZ
HAPPENING! "JAZZ IS LIFE & Life is Love" JB

I was
saddened that the Jackie Robinson Fest stopped occurring, however, I
cannot wait for this huge fest in NY, just a few miles up the line from
NYC. I'm headed North this year. Looking forward to the beautiful
venue right alongside the Hudson River.
Peace!

Comments: My
wife and I recently moved here from San Diego, CA where jazz was an
everyday part of our lives. In coming back to the East coast, one of
the things I was dreading was the loss of our outdoor jazz venue
(Street Scenes in downtown San Diego, Sunday Jazz at Thorton Winery in
Temecula). Now that we've found this event, we're breathing a lot
easier. We're really looking forward to this year's lineup. Thanks.

I think it
will be a successful festival and I
can't wait to get to New
York! We are not going to the North Sea Jazz festival in Holland, we
like this better! We have great seats.
Thanks for your personal touch!
Kind
Regards,
Marcia.
