This week's Moment's Notice takes us to Cape May, NJ for the fall edition of the Exit Zero Jazz Festival, alongside Philly performances from Danny Jonokuchi, Marshall Allen, and more.

WRTI’s Josh Jackson subs in for Greg, talking with Nate about their rich experience at the Pittsburgh International Jazz Festival.
