Jazz Festival 2005 : Final Day : partial redemption
Long John's was the venue, starting at 10:00pm - lots of trad jazz, which can get a bit trying after a while. That finished at midnight, so we moved on to La Fontaine with, it must be said, some reluctance after the recent unpleasantness there. Surprisingly, the doorman seemed happy to see us, as did the barman. Of Søren, no sign (thank God). It was pretty busy inside, although there was no queue like last year's final night, and the temperature and humidity were, fittingly, akin to New Orleans midsummer. The music was excellent, with many familiar faces and sounds, and apart from the smokey atmosphere and heat/humidity (why weren't the ceiling fans on???) we had a great time, finally rolling out around 4:30am - with the music still playing. See you next year.
