Umbria Jazz Festival Saturday 10th July Roy Hargrove


After a very long drive from our overnight stop near Parma (home of ham and cheese) we arrived in perugia in time to catch the end of the evening show in the main arena - a band called La Notte Della Taranta from Puglia. Literally the dance if the Tarantula - a frenetic music and dance folk based show - great entertainment !

The midnight show at the Morlacchi featured The Roy Hargrove Quintet - Roy was at his bouncy best and produced some sparkling music - bringing on stage some members of the New Orleans Marching band who do the parade through town twice a day. They ended up jamming at a local bar until 5am!
