he 2010 Michigan Jazz Festival on July 18 at Schoolcraft College was another blockbuster. There were long lines to hear many performers, like tenorist George Benson, pianist Bob Seeley and clarinetist Dave Bennett, yet everything worked smoothly thanks to the well-oiled organization directed by Midge Ellis. Here are a few visuals that try to capture some of the energy at the 16th jazz fest.
