Estes Park Jazz Fest this weekend!

Greetings from Estes Park!

This weekend is the Estes Park Jazz Fest, the first event of the season for our outdoor concerts at Performance Park. It's also the kick-off for the Estes Park Village Jazz Band, of which I am proud to be a member. (I'm the only trumpet player not to have played professionally...and they're still nice to me!)
