How lucky are we to have a wonderful jazz festival right on
our own backyard? Over 50 bands will be playing over the 10 days of Indy Jazz
Fest, including our favorite American Idol winner, Josh Kaufman. The queue to
meet Josh wound around the 4-H Buildings after he played at the Indiana State
Fair – I was glad to see the line was gone when I went to the Fair the next
morning! You can get a VIP ticket ($150) to Josh’s show at the Old National
Centre which includes a reception and photo shoot before his concert Saturday,
September 13. General seating tickets for his show start at $37.00.
The Jazz Fest kicks off on Thursday, September 11 (7:00 PM) with
a free show. The Indy Jazz Fest Band
kick-off the festival at the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center on the campus of
UIndy. The concert will celebrate the legends of Acid Jazz and Fusion - Bill
Lancton (guitar), Allen Turk Burke (Hammond B3 organ and piano), Scott Pazera
(acoustic and electric bass), Vince Jackson (drums), Mark Buselli (trumpet and
flugelhorn), Tom Clark (saxes), and Rich Dole (trombone). They will be
performing the music of Herbie Hancock, Ramsey Lewis, Melvin Sparks, The
Meters, Groove Holmes, Grant Green, Chick Corea, and many more jazz greats.
The festival ends with a block party at the Jazz Kitchen
(5377 N. College Avenue) on Sunday, September 20. There will be terrific music
on both the indoor and outdoor stages.
Check out the Indy Jazz Fest website for all of musicians,
venues (including brewery shows), and ticket prices.

Five yoga studios are participating in the yoga-thon to
benefit the I.W.I.N. Foundation (based in Broad Ripple). The foundation
provides personal grants to woman undergoing breast cancer treatment. The
grants are used for things to make their life easier – transportation
assistance, meals, child care, house cleaning, lawn care, massage, yoga, etc.
Often times the group is referred to as the “neighbor next door” for those who
are not comfortable asking for help from friends and family or those without a
support system.
Registration starts at 7:45 and the yoga-thon begins at 8:30.
The first 75 participants will also receive a cute tank top. Teachers from each
of the five yoga studios will present a 25 minute class, ranging from
traditional yoga to yoga-with-a-twist. Actually all yoga seems to fold me into
a twist!
Anne Marie Tiernon will emcee the morning and there will be
information about the I.W.I.N Foundation available. Visit www.iwinfoundation.org for more information and to register.

Marigold Clothing Store has been a beautiful part of Broad
Ripple for 25 years. And did you know that I’ve been a proud “Marigal” for most
of that time? I’ve worked there in some fashion for all but five (when I lived
in the Philadelphia area) of the 25 years. I can honestly say that I’m always wearing a
piece of Marigold clothing – often pairing a lovely skirt with a band tee shirt
for my waitressing shift.
Marigold is celebrating with a fundraiser for the BRVA
Beautification Initiatives, including the Bill Brink Memorial Garden. There
will be a champagne toast, appetizers, and cake – of course every Marigold
celebration involves cake! There will be raffle prizes and much more fun.
Show off your vintage Marigold clothing– I still wish I had
the first thing I purchased there, a pair of mustard colored balloon pants –
for a special fashion contest.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that men are
encouraged to join the party and there will be a cash bar.
