More Wishy-Washy Jazz
It was overcast and cool for much of the day, which seemed to deter the usual crowds of people who head over to the Beaches Jazz Festival. So we headed to Kew Beach playground after lunch, which is just across the park from the main stage. I understand that yesterday there were a few "names" that made the main stage the focus of attention, but all I heard for the hour we were at the park was the same wishy-washy jazz-fusion-crap that I always seem to hear whenever I've down by the main stage during the festival.

Hopefully there were better acts that the self-indulgent jazz-ish noodling I heard ("and now, here's a folk tune I wrote that I turned into a jazz tune" - nothing more needs to be said) but for me it just confirmed that the Street Fest held on the Thursday and Friday before provides a better overall selection and quality of music.
