Sincere thanks and congratulations to all involved in performing in or promoting this world class festival.
This is the type of event which will promote Melbourne culturally to the wider world - not merely another boring, outrageously expensive, boozy sporting activity like the money-losing Grand Prix!
So much superb music was heard it's hard to know where to begin, but to me one of the numerous highlights - apart from the likes of Sonny Rollins naturally - was the inclusion of some Korean Pansori in a cross-cultural setting. Hopefully, more of this type of experimentalism will be forthcoming in future festivals.
In summary, this was a festival that made Melbourne a delightful place in which to live over the past week or so - and that's a compliment coming from somebody who has travelled to over twenty countries and lived overseas!
Thankyou.
