The Hot Summer Jazz Festival's opening week-end begins in Saint Paul's

on Saturday night. The free concerts in Mears Park also feature
performances by Chris Graham, Mose Allison, George Avaloz Band, Walker
West Music Academy, Jesse Kegan, Bend in the River Big Band.
 Mose Allison @ Mears Park © Andrea Canter
I fell in love with Mose Allison's sound when I first heard it in the
1970's. Mose has vocal phrasing drenched in the blues combined with
impeccable jazz chops on the piano. That was over 30 years ago and he
has continued to write and perform his own songs and put his stylistic
stamp on classics like "Seventh Son" by Willie Dixon. He is
simultaneously a down home Mississippi Bluesman and a urbane jazz
hipster. In his half a century in the profession he has recorded albums
for Prestige, Columbia, Atlantic, and Bluenote records. A tireless
perform who still still tours throughout the year, he will grace Saint
Paul Minnesota with a free concert at Mears Park on Friday the 16th. That show will be
followed by two shows at the Artists' Quarter that evening and two more
on Saturday the 17th, providing the perfect way to relax and cool-off after the outdoor music ends.
