Jazz Walk Was Bigger Than Ever and Music and Dancing Filled the Air!

Variety, Walkin' and Dancin' in the Streets Reigned in North City.  
Fine weather made it a very pleasant evening for strolling the venues.


Greta Metassa and the Critical Mass Big Band headlined the evening at the St Marks Church & School Gym.  She is a nationally known talent and started off with a rendition of "Georgia On My Mind".
