The 26th Annual JazzReggae Festival at UCLA announces a lineup change for Jam Day, May 27th, as headliner Bobby Womack has canceled his performance due to health issues.

The hot spot of all three days was Perry’s tent which from noon til dark buzzed with bodies dancing almost ceaselessly in the massive 40,000 square foot enclosure. Hot, muddy, pulsating. Lolla …

Not sure where the bad vibes originate and nothing could ever fully wipe them out. Not the best-intentioned. Nor the smoke that the Great Lakes’ state brethren blew onstage. …MORE
