West Oak Lane Jazz Festival

I covered the West Oak Lane Jazz Festival for Newsworks this past weekend. I had never been to the event and wasn't too sure what to expect but it was a really fun time and a lot to photograph. I put together an audio slideshow of the festival which I will post in a couple of days. Here's a sneak peek at what I saw:

Cars lined the streets and neighbors held barbaques as thousands gathered along Ogontz Avenue for the West Oak Lane Jazz Festival. Karen Shinholster, of the 1900 block of 72nd St. keeps an eye on a batch of jerk chicken.
The Persuasions were one of many acts to perform at the West Oak Lane Jazz Festival on Saturday June 18.
Thousands of people came out to sit back, relax and enjoy the music on Saturday.
