Besides the traffic jams and Saturday's sound difficulties due to an overloaded transformer, the Fest sot arecord as the largest free eventinKChistory. As at any outdoor fest, especially thefirstones, there are technical problems and anyone whowasbehind thescenes prior and/or during the fest know now what, how, and who to avoid in order to put it on next ‘year. The big question is will those volunteers be around next year to make those ‘adjustments or will it continue on the same course? Asthe 91 Blues & Jazz Fest volunteers scurried around until at least 3 pam. trying to get their fest sites setup and in operating order, the blues and jazz stages began on. time and for the most part remained on schedule.

Everyone got down with John Mayall, turned on, and had “Room to Move.” The dark clouds blew away. KCMO police reported no incidents or injurios on either day. Big surprises happened. On Saturday, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers left everyone spellbound. Jimmy Johnson spilled the blues and showed his soul. Denise LaSalle, all dressed up, got the crowd messed up with her sexy ways, LaSalle did clean up her act for the children in the audience. ‘Sunday's KC Blues women roview with Linda Shell, Earline Owens, and Cotton Candy wasasmash. Many neverknew that KC had somefine women shoutin’ theblues. Buddy Guy in between flights, had perfect timing as he sprung into action. Guy managed to rush the through audience during a guitar solo with KCMO police and security in tow. A rare big surprise was Albert King’s appearance in his tux and sheriff badge to join Bobby Bland on stage, Tt was an unpredictable Fest and hopefully will happen again. Next year’s Blues & Jazz Fest needs improvement in the overall geographical logistics and the entire planning, production, and execution, ‘The Bel Airs’ Brothers — Dick and Dave Pruitt Elderstatesman — Little Hatch Jimmy Johnson — The Barroom Preacher 2 M@ AUGUST 1991 Pa 1 as prt alata AUGUST 1991 He Kansas City BLUES NEWS is pub- lished monthly by the Kansas City Blues} Society, Inc.
