Jazz Festival

On Friday evening, my dad got us VIP Sky Box tickets to the Jazz Festival in Hyatt Regency, Newport Beach. When we got there, we were ushered to a reception room. I took a platter and loaded it with fried rice, mini tacos, ravioli, barbecued short ribs, fresh salad, sashimi for my mom, grilled shrimp and a bottle of ice water. Just as I sat down between Kenny and my mom, the musicians started getting ready.

Soon a woman made an announcement and then the band started playing their first song, Jazz Blues. I felt the same way as my brother did, relaxed and listening to the music while enjoying the scrumptious food. The saxophone players were pros and I enjoyed hearing them do solos. We applauded after every song. As the intermission began, I stood up to get a mango parfait and creme brulee. It was luscious and sweet.

The music was beautiful and soft as a dove. My favorite part was the ruby red strawberries dipped in rich brown chocolate!
