Burg Vischering in Lüdinghausen

Jazz festival programmers feel free to turn green with envy. If the skill of the programmer is to put the right band into the right location, it certainly helps to have a few magical locations up your sleeve. This is the moated castle (Wasserburg) where Münsterland Festival programmer  Christine Sörries was able to put on the trio of Tommy Smith, Arild Andersen and Paolo Vinaccia for an atmospheric, beautiful gig last night, on the second night of the Festival. A full report of my visit to Münsterland will be on the JazzFM website next week.
