Shawn-Laree and I are in Savannah for the high school graduation of her godson. I saw in the paper this morning that a jazz musician, Ben Tucker, had died and that the funeral was today.
We’re staying downtown, and after lunch we saw a crowd in a local square. We realized that it was the early stirrings of his New Orleans-style jazz march. So I hopped in the scrum to take pictures while S-L shot video. I spliced it together and here’s about four minutes of a real jazz man procession:
