2007 Umbrella Music Festival Schedule

In it's Second Annual incarnation, the Umbrella Music folks (including many fantastic musicians) have put together an impressive lineup for their festival this November. Lots of great names that I recognize, and lots of new stuff to check out. I'm particularly impressed with the international "European Jazz Meets Chicago" (reminiscent of the Baden-Baden concept) that they put together along with consulates from various European nations - quite the organizational feat.
