15th Annual Charlie Parker Jazz Festival
15th Annual Charlie Parker Jazz Festival Sunday at Tompkins Square Park. Abby Lincoln couldn’t make it, so Cassandra Wilson filled in. She’s got a great voice, strong, round and warm and really knows how t sing jazz. She gets kind of fizzy poppy sometimes, but today she stayed jazzy.
Thousands of people filled the south end of the park, in chairs in front of the stage and lined up around, standing. Hundreds more lounged in the grass. As befits an East Village jazzfest, there was lots of style. Check out the woman wearing an Astroturf dress—she looked good in it! (and notice her companion in backgammon-board pants).
