The Second Round

Pismo Jazz Festival of the Central Coast

October, 2025

Well, now: we got a lot of music with diversity of genres and styles over the course of several days. Kudos and thanks to all the movers and shakers who made it all happen. Below are some photos of the event. I don't know all of the musician's names. Some bands seem to have an online presence and information only on facebook, to which I will not connect. Nonetheless, in person they all delivered good music. Enjoy the photographs and let the good times roll.
