Branford Marsalis Quartet : August 27

The Frederik Meijer Gardens has hosted some great musicians this summer. Luckily the husband was forward-thinking enough to nab us tickets to four of the shows. We’ve grooved to Buddy Guy, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and last week, to Branford Marsalis. And although it’s pretty easy to get a seat right up front, we always perch up near the top of the hill. That would explain the dearth of crisp, close-up photos. But we’ve found ourselves a comfy spot that suits us and the music gets to you just as well up there. Next up? Cubanisimo!
