Photos: Jazz Fest 2010 at Burgdorff Center

Maplewood Jazz Fest 2010 was supposed to happen outside in Memorial Park under starry skies.

But when rains caused organizers to move the event inside at the last minute, you never would have known that The Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts on Durand Road was not the intended location all along. The evening went off without a hitch—and completely on pitch—as world-renowned jazz artists who just happen to make their homes in South Orange, Maplewood and West Orange pleased the crowd.
