Day 2, we explored the many vendors along the street and remained at the Swingin Stage the entire day for spectacular performances by The U.S Army Admbassadors Jazztet, Bassist Marcus Miller and to our surprise, our friend and previous When We Speak guest, trumpeter Russell Gunn joined Marcus Miller during the performance, The Swinging Stage ended with an electrifying performance by Chaka Khan!!!!
