Wynton Marsalis and Jazz At Linclon Center Orchestra in Perugia

On Wednesday night I arrived in Perugia to join Wynton Marsalis and  Jazz At Linclon Center Orchestra who were to play for the Umbria Jazz Festival.
It had been raining heavily all day and I was not sure if the concert would be cancelled for the night's event in Arena Santa Giuliana.
I sat back stage with the band as they ate dinner then finally the crowd began to clap.
It was the cue for the night to begin.
The rain had stopped and the show went on.
It was so exciting to be outside surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd.
