Well, we’ve had better weather for the annual Webster Jazz Fest, but we definitely have had much, much worse.
For most of the afternoon and evening on Saturday for Jazz in the Streets, cloudy weather remained just that: cloudy. But just about when Bill Tiberio was finishing his set and Prime Time Funk was setting up, the thousands of music lovers who packed the streets and sidewalks started feeling some sprinkles. Most were undeterred.
That is, until the rain got a little heavier about an hour later. That’s when people started packing up their quad chairs and umbrellas were raised. And Prime Time Funk played on, his drum-beats heard even beyond Phillips Road (This is actually true. Someone who lives down there told me so.)
By all accounts, the 2018 Webster Jazz Fest was another rip-roaring success, and the rain really didn’t do much to dampen that. My daughter Erin (who, as you know, writes for the Webster Herald) and I were out there taking photos, which I have compiled into a gallery which you can see here.
If you didn’t make it this year, you missed out on something special. Put it on your calendar right now for 2019, because it WILL be back.
