Raul Midon at the 2014 Syracuse Jazz Festival

We are starting our 2015 wish list early.

Hopefully singer,songwriter and composer Raul Midon gets invited back to Syracuse soon.  He put on a great show Saturday as a soulful one-man sound machine, but we think to fully appreciate the complexities of his talents and the nuance of his genius, he should to be featured in the Legends of Jazz Series at OCC.

Week in Review: Second Line

In case you missed it…Trombone Shorty nearly blew a hole in the ozone layer above Onondaga Hill.

His marathon performance on Friday at Syracuse Jazz Fest capped off a mini-tribute to New Orleans. If you closed your eyes, you could feel yourself walking along Bourbon Street, and if you listened close, you could almost taste the gumbo cooking in the kitchen.

Here are some photos from Day 2 of the Syracuse Jazz Festival.  Saturday started with local singer Nick Ziobro (Manlius) and ended with guitar legend B.B. King.
