Jazz in the Gardens this year was horrible! So many audio and visual problems, excessive waiting times between artists (I waited an hour and 20 minutes for Mary J Blige and I had to go!) Tom Joyner disappeared halfway through the show and never reappeared. They tried to kick Teena Marie off the stage. Robin Thicke only played 35 mins after we waited an hour for him. I will never go back and Im gonna tell my friends! Theres no way im going to spend another $75 to scorch in the sun all day WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING. Shame on Mayor Shirley Gibson also for talking so dang much. That woman talked about everything under the sun EXCEPT why we were still waiting! Doesnt make sense to pay that monney to see 4 artists spread over a 8 hour period. Waste of money!!
