Trombone tones are echoing off the cobblestones in
Estavayer-le-Lac, Switzerland, as Fred practices to keep his chops up during some off-time between festivals. Sunday's performance with his New JBs at the
Jazz and Joy Festival in Worms, Germany, marked the end of the band's summer 2013 European tour. On Friday, he'll
once again celebrate Jimmy Smith at the
Swing in the Wind Street Jazz Festival in this beautiful Swiss village on
Lake Neuchâtel.
The last days of the New JBs tour included a stay in happening
Toulouse, France, for the nearby
Jazz in Marciac Festival; a stop in
Freiburg, Germany, for a hot night at the
Jazzhaus Freiburg; and the joyful and jazzy grand finale in
historic Worms. Many thanks to the band and all the friends who made the tour such a pleasure. Enjoy these photos.
