Jazz on the Green...

I'm looking forward to the Manchester Jazz Festival kicking off in a couple of weeks. It's a really inclusive festival. You can pay to listen to Jazz in venues across the city from Matt & Phred's Jazz Bar in the N4 to the plush surroundings of the Midland Hotel. But if finances are a bit tight you can go to the Festival Hub in Albert Square and listen to free jazz while enjoying a beer. Bliss!

In the meanwhile, to whet my appetite, I listened to this great saxophonist at the Farmer's Market on Chorlton Green last Saturday....
