When a teenage Jeanette Harris saw the way the crowd partied and danced at a Norman Brown concert, she knew she wanted to be a jazz musician. Decades later, as the Los Angeles-based saxophonist prepares to return to Toledo for her second consecutive appearance at the third annual Glass City JazzFest, she hopes to bring the same energy to Toledo. Harris will perform the event’s penultimate set at 7 p.m. Saturday right before headliner Bob James, on a bill that will also include performances by Andre Wright, 496 West, Ilya Serov, and Allen Dennard starting at 1 p.m. at Glass City Metropark, located at 983 Front St. “The ultimate goal for me is putting a smile on people’s faces, so I am somewhat of a comedian,” Harris said. “I’ll say some silly things on stage. I want to get them out of whatever negative zone they maybe were in and put them in a really fun positive space. Musically, I come and bring a party. My show is high energy. I have a backbeat to my music.”
