Playa del Carmen-
What a show! Three nights of great music, great company, and an unique incredible stage (on the Mexican Caribbean Beach) in Playa del Carmen, Mexico People often ask my husband and I what is it like to live on the Mexican Caribbean….we often reply “we are lucky people” 
The unique thing about Playa is the mix of people in the community…Italians, Argentinians, Americans, British, Canadians, French, Mexican, Cubans, Dutch, everyone is present it seems here in this small beach side town of Playa del CarmenThis allows for a unique atmosphere and allows for a growing number festivities such as the International Film festivals, Fashion shows, Jazz concerts, and of course the main amenity….the Caribbean Beaches!
The first day filled the Caribbean nights with the rhythms of Jazz on the beach and tunes floated all the way up toFifth Avenue The opening night blasted with the Mexican Jazz artist Jose Antonio Moran Mercado better known as Pepe Moran Following was the unique sound of the night, The Beaujean Project
Two young Mexican sisters with a unique duet sound and beautiful voices I am not sure the age of these artists but they are definitely younger than 25 years of age….much soul….I think the world will be hearing much more about this talent over the years
On Friday night the big international stars to take the stage were Earl Klugh and Saxist David Sanborn Earl Klugh is a Grammy winning artist with a record of most sales on Itunes and Amazon.com for 2008 He is a contemporary Jazzist and a magician on the acoustic guitar
First time performing in Mexico, world famous alto saxophone player David Sanborn made a deep impression on the Playa del Carmen crowd as his tunes had the entire beach crowd….awed Playa del Carmen Jazz festival is now being noted and credited as Mexico s and possibly Latin America s most famous Jazz fest Currently in it s 6th year, there is probably no other stage as unique as what this Mexican metropolitan community has to offer
The annual Jazz Fest goes for three nights The stage is placed right on the world famous mamitas beachThe concerts start at 7:00 pm, and people start arriving around 6 There is no entry charge, and people bring small folding chairs, or their beach towels In our group, we brought a picnic basket filled with chilled wine, beer, cheese, flavored meats, pieces of bread and what a couple of unforgettable nights Nothing like laying on the beach, looking at the Caribbean stars, and listening to live Jazzy tunes on stage
