Reason 1,132 that I love #nyc
I thought I had bought tickets for a little home grown Uptown Manhattan #nyc #Inwood #Jazz festival fundraiser. Me and all Inwood folks chipped in to support this event.

The musical performers were not advertised before tonight. (!!!)
Inconspicuously listed were when I got here is the musical act for the night.
Patience Higgins and friends.
(Patience has a long a storied career: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patience_Higgins )
And buried here is the woman who sang the theme song of my childhood:
Ms. Tina Fabrique
Yes, I am having a jazz dinner with the woman who joyously told a hundred million kids to Take a Look and Read a Book.

Amazing.
- Upper Manhattan is a small and mighty community that will have an A-list Jazz festival come September.
Pretty awesome.
The smoke from WildFires swirls outside while we reinforce our community uptown.
Oh yeah - world renowned Jazz Drummer Aaron Scott is the mind behind this amazing music.

That the NYC life. The neighborhood guy who keeps your community garden nice is a triple Grammy award winning musician.
