If you like Jazz and live in Central Florida, today (Sunday, September 23, 2007) is the last day of the New Smyrna Beach Jazz Festival that's being held this weekend. Of course, there will probably another one in the recent future, but if you want to catch this one and spend a day at the beach, then pack your sunscreen and head for A1A.

Here's today's schedule...

• 2:00-5:00 Julie Lyon Quartet, South Atlantic Grille, 3406 S. Atlantic Ave. New Smyrna Beach, FL
• 2:30-5:30 Robert Harris Band, Chases on the Beach, 3401 S. Atlantic Ave., New Smyrna Beach, FL (BTW, Chases serves excellent food!)
• 3:30-6:30 Duplicity Duo with saxophonist Pat D'Aguanno, PJ's Sea Shack, 491 E. 3rd Ave., New Smyrna
• 4:00-7:00 Jeff Rupert & Dirty Martini featuring Michelle Amato, The Garlic, 556 E. 3rd Ave., New Smyrna
• 4:30-7:30 Kid Dutch and his New Orleans Music, Clancy's Cantina, 747 E. 3rd Ave., New Smyrna (BTW, Clancy's is another local favorite)
• 5:00-8:00 Bobby Mercer Jazz Quartet featuring Ashley Locheed, Norwoods, South Causeway (Norwoods is another good one... I'm starting to notice a pattern here)
• 5:30-8:30 The What Thing, Beachside Tavern, 690 E. 3rd Ave.

And there you have it. Make the circuit and hear them all while enjoying fabulous food and drink. Don't miss it!
