Bronze statue at Libba Cotton Grove, sculpted by Sharon BuMannIt’s hard to understand the precision and detail that goes into the work of Sharon BuMann, the sculptor best known for her work at the NYS Fair (with butter) and the Jerry Rescue monument in Clinton Square.
Her latest work, a bronze of famous folk singer Libba Cotten, will be formally dedicated in a few weeks. Here’s a piece written by columnist Sean Kirst describing Cotten’s musical influence.
BuMann was one of the first artists we featured on this site. We visited her studio about 10 years ago to watch her work. She is a great artistic ambassabor for our region and certainly a living legend.

Hasan Stephens, aka DJ Maestro, Hip Hop Scholar and Radio Executive, during a lecture at Syracuse University earlier this year.
During recent trips to DMV-area (DC, Maryland and Virginia) and Philadelphia I had the opportunity to experience some diverse radio programming. It was particularly a treat to hear Hip-Hop pioneer Lady B doing a marvelous throw-back show called The Basement Party.
Today I read the DJ Maestro and partners will be starting an online radio vehicle that will enter the urban music market in the area. Labor Day is the launch date.
Below you can hear Maestro talk about the need for diversity in Hip-Hop music during a lecture at Syracuse University earlier this year.

Knight made a name for himself playing multiple gigs and festivals around Syracuse and was mentored by Dave Frateschi (of the BlackLite horns).

Monica Ellis, Jeff Scott, Mariam Adam, George Kilpatrick and David Ying at a post concert reception in Dobson Hall, First Presbyterian Church, Skaneateles.
Imani Winds, the Grammy-nominated chamber music ensemble, held a series of concerts in the area this week, including The Red House in Syracuse on Wednesday, and last night at the First Presbyterian Church in Skaneateles. Their relevant and authentic style was illustrated wonderfully when they made a delightful excursion through “Cane,” a piece written for the group by Jason Moran.
Imani Winds will make their next stop in Europe.
Tony Cook performs “Dixie”
Also performing were George Kilpatrick (readings/speeches), Tony Cook (the soulful baritone), Elinor Freer (piano) and the Jasper Quartet.
The concerts were part of the Skaneateles Festival. Last night’s production, directed by David Ying, was called Not Your Mother’s Chamber Music Concert.
Photos were taken at the First Presbyterian Church.
