There was a positive energy running through the D.C. Jazz Loft that’s impossible to capture in words or photographs. But we did come away with some great shots, so why not post ’em? We already published one set of photos, but here’s a second. Stay tuned for videos of the performances coming soon; in the meantime, scroll down and enjoy!
