Singer/songwriter Jason Bean played the Party in the Plaza series at Le Moyne Plaza last week. But don’t allow the secluded setting and small stage fool you, at one point Bean plucked his guitar so fervently that he broke a string.

Ioana Vintu and Nuf Said were a great fit for the back yard-like setting at Le Moyne Plaza last night. Their return to the Cuse on a cool September evening also provided a fitting diminuendo for the outdoor jazz season.

Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival, Day 2: Sound Familiar

The Brownskin Band did three shows for Day 2 of the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival last weekend. The band featured several interchangeable members, but we noticed that the trio of Jamel Lorick, Tamar Smithers and TC Carter also formed a nucleus for one of our all time favorite bands from back in the day, Electric Relaxation. We saw ER for the first time at the old OnaJava Cafe. On Saturday Brownskin slowly built an audience inside the World Beat Pavilion until it became a sweatbox, sort of like Electric Relaxation used to do at OnaJava. The more things change, the more they can often sound the same.
