A jazz festival in May? Really?
It's true. The Atlanta Jazz Festival is coming. That phrase definitely doesn't mean what it once did, but a free jazz festival is a free jazz festival. No, you won't see the return of Herbie Hancock or Sonny Rollins, and you won't get to sit and relax on the newly green Piedmont Park grass. But you do get a chance to see Freddy Cole perform Friday night (that is, if you skip the Mulgrew Miller/Russell Gunn concert at Variety Playhouse). Check out the full lineup here. May 23-24. Free.

Atlanta and jazz, what a joke. The Atlanta Jazz Fest at it stands now is a very weak offering. Weak jazz radio, a handful of clubs (most over priced) and no interest in new music, just the same old rehashed music and ideas.
