This weekend I went to the 6th International Jazz Festival of Port-au-Prince at the Karibe Hotel and a mixer at the Canadian Embassy to raise money for a local school.

The concert was a great time. I met Ambassador Merten and his lovely wife, Susan. Both of them really seem to love Haiti, despite the daunting problems the country faces. After the Ambassador said a few remarks, I saw a couple of bands play, Jed Levy Quartet and a Mexican jazz band called Aguamala. You can see a sample of what JLQ played below
