Frog Island Performances
Saturday, June 24th, at the Frog Island
Music Festival is devoted to several top-notch jazz acts. Things
kick off with vocalist Sheila Landis and her Brazilian Fantasy at
noon, followed by saxophonist Wendel Harrison and his quartet at 1:15.
At 2:15 another local saxophone great, Larry Nozero joins forces with
organist Lyman Woodard. At 4:15 Lyman Woodard Organization alumna
violinist Regina Carter returns to this area from New York with her
quintet. Carter continues to draw raves in the national jazz press
and is generally considered the brightest star on the jazz fiddle
horizon.
The 19th annual Frog

an ideal location for a picnic. It is a good idea to bring a blanket
or whatever you want to sit on. Please call 734-761-1451 for
