Speaking of, have you bothered to attend any such festivals where you live?
Two questions...
What is your current town of residence?
A festival will be a little different than a concert. Were those last three jazz festivals, jazz concerts, or some other type of concert that you went to?
Scottsdale, AZ (Phoenix inclusive)
No, they weren't jazz. I'm just more concerned about artists sounding way too diferently in concert then they do in their albums; Britney Spears comes to mind, her Live From Las Vegas DVD leaves much to be desired from actually wanting to see her in concert.

I think you should try to get together with a friend or two and go to a jazz festival instead of looking for a concert by a big name artist. Perhaps with some local talent. That way, you won't be let down by them not sounding as good in person.
I also think the best idea is to go in order to have fun with some friends instead of just for the music. Just let it set the atmosphere. Jazz festivals are cool because they can be a lot more laid back than a Metallica or Britney concert. :)
Some of these might be old, but it is a sample of some of the things in your area:
Arizona Classic Jazz, Jazz Festival..sounds fun and is fairly cheap
Paradise Valley Jazz Party...sounds good but may be expensive
Scottsdale Latin Jazz Festival & Hispanic Heritage Celebration...interesting
The first Scottsdale Latin Jazz Festival sizzles with the sounds, rhythms and flavors of Latin America! This exhilarating outdoor celebration showcases top Latin jazz artists from Brazil, Cuba, Mexico and the United States, from the legendary Arturo Sandoval to rising stars Claudia Villela, Tiempo Libre and Ximena Sariñana and Arizona’s own Cascabel, Cinco de Moio, Powerdrive and Rakata. Stroll the beautiful grounds of the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall and enjoy continuous live music on the amphitheater stage, a Latin Mercado featuring handmade arts and crafts, delicious Latin-inspired cuisine and beverages and the Peanut Butter & Latin Jam family area offering creative activities for children. Inside, the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts’ new Virginia G. Piper Theater hosts the Scottsdale Latin Ballroom Dance Competition
As stated, most of these links are for last year but a little work should be able to find the current ones.
I think they are a good idea because they are a good "mixer" atmosphere (more laid back than pop concerts...) where you can have some fun with your friends with the background of music that you like.
My two cents.

That makes me want to go to a jazz festival. Or, at least find a festival with Latin food.
Speaking of Jazz, these guys, Fattburger will be playing in a festival in my area the weekend of the 23rd and 24th.

I'll tell you what's broken: all these new avatars attached to the names of people I'm supposed to know. Please fix this. It makes Butterfrog's picture obsolete.

So still reading my pathfinder that came in the mail today. Kingmaker is good but I'm really looking forward to the next AP Pirates and it looks like Yuan-Ti woot woot
Still waiting for mine. :/
Had to submit new credit card information because it said I had insufficient funds. I found that hard to believe. And lo and behold, it's really because the card reached its expiration date and it wasn't until yesterday that I got the new card.
Meh.

OK... you guys aren't allowed to Post on Tuesdays (your Monday Night/ Tuesday Morning) anymore... ;)
I don't get a chance to look usually because of work and I come back to a closed IV and 400 odd Posts to wade through in this Thread!!! O.o

The restaurant's website is not impressive, but the food sure is.
My advisor took all his graduates out tonight for our celebration.
Bugatti Ristorante
Looks like old school Italian Ristorante. There's this nice one in Reynoldsburg that's a couple stone throws from AB's new abode that the interior / exterior looks similar to the one you visited.

I had to delete that post twice and give up. Something's f&~~ing up with the quote as there was a section that acted as if it were my own, but it wasn't included in the quote.
Seems it got to you too.
Someone get a stick and poke at it!
