"Jazz In The Gardens" Concert - Miami, Florida 2013

Updated with video:

The 2-day "Jazz In The Gardens" concert is officially over and I had a good time, although I am slightly exhausted. "New Edition", "Neyo", "Mary,Mary", "Monica", "Fantasia", "Charlie Wilson", "Baby Face" and a few well known others graced the stage at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida on March 16th & 17th for what many say was "an amazing concert". I took my place among some of Florida's most well known media outlets and mingled with old friends. The show began at 4pm on both days with performances by some great local talent. As the sun set, patrons sipped cocktails from the "mini" bars and tasted exotic seafood dishes offered by catering and restaurant booths. The energy was well beyond festive and most concertgoers stayed on their feet for the entire 6-7 hour show.

New Edition were definitely a highlight. Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Michael Bivens, Ricky Bell, Ronnie Divoe and Ralph Tresvant performed with ease and delivered the vocal ambiance of past hits with boyish charm.

A second highlight would have to be Neyo. One may forget just how many number one hits he's had, until he performs them one by one in front of thousands of screaming fans. Showmanship, stage presence, delivery and genius= A+.

Look below for pictures and video.
