After missing last year, I attended both days this year -- both of which were spectacular but marred by competition from unaffiliated drum circle jamming: though they clearly have the right to perform (there's even a NYC Parks Dept sign for the drum circle in Marcus Garvey Park), a little respect for Charlie Parker and a one-day-per-year accomodation would have been appreciated much more than the drumming.
