At around 6:30 p.m., our evening began at the Automotive Building. This is where they held Taste of the Town, the VIP Indoor Tasting Experience and main attraction for many of the night’s attendees. Upon entering, we were greeted by other businesses symbolic of the area and Dallas culture. Imagine the large, car-filled, air-conditioned concrete building from the State Fair’s car show. Now remove the cars and envision large booths and tables on said floor with the likes of Albertsons, the Farmer’s Market and other neighborhood tchotchke shops.

The much anticipated release of Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey’s (JFJO) newest project, the One Day in Brooklyn EP, was released today all over the country and has already been met with rave reviews. To highlight the release of this newest project, the boys from Tulsa, OK are playing this Thursday night at the Granada Theater (3524 Greenville Ave.) The Kansas City Star calls JFJO “creative and adventurous,” and the NY Times and Village Voice have been all but effusive with their praise of the new EP. Their concerts are part music, part party, part transcendent experience, and if their last trip to Dallas is any indication, this Thursday is sure to be an amazing night.
