Almost a Jazz Concert

The Virginia Beach Parks and Recreation Department had a free jazz concert scheduled for our local park on Friday at 6pm. When show time came around, electricians were still fooling around with the generator. So, we waited. At 6:25 three musicians came out, drums sax and trumpet; they played for about five minutes, talked among themselves for a bit; played five minutes more; and went backstage again. At that point we left, because if jazz players only have ten minutes of music in them and can't improvise beyond that, they can't be very good.
