Halfway through the year, there was no slowing down for jazz in Richmond. One weekend in particular was packed with music to hear. I summed up the scene in the State of Jazz article, and featured Scott Burton, Reggie Pace, and Matt White in Three Richmond Music Moguls. Former VCU student and Chris Potter Underground drummer Nate Smith talked about the band’s newest record, Ultrahang. The Fourth of July was the big day for the Richmond Marching Band, which surprised and pleased passersby on their downtown march.

Cafe Diem discontinued Chez Roue’s weekly gig, but the group would soon relocate to Bogart’s. R2Dtoo played an awesome set at Black Hand Coffee. WRIR received a well-deserved Official Recognition Award from the Richmond City Council. I discovered Tigran Hamasyan’s album Red Hail and tweeted like crazy about it.
