When it comes to bringing the crowd to the Sitrus Lounge, and making them get off their feet and dance, or in some cases sing, nobody does it like Michael & Anjela Lynn. Their second show for the season at the Sheraton Hotel was a perfect celebration of the roots of smooth R&B and the gift of musical enjoyment on Friday. They were backed up superbly by the next generation, aka the Talented Ones.

Mike Houston sang his way off stage and dance in the crowd last night.
Michael & Anjela Lynn (along with The Critics) gave the people what they wanted last night to close out Day 1 of the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival. Their neo-soul and old-school R&B, anchored with big beats, whipped up a dance frenzy in Clinton Square.

Sitrus Series regulars Mike and Sharon Colabufo danced to the sounds of Mike and Anjela Lynn at the Sheraton Hotel on Friday. The series isn’t a true party until the Colabufo’s grace the floor. The final set for Mike and Anjela included clever covers of Michael Jackson, Daft Punk and Robin Thicke.

Jazz singer Gregory Porter (pictured here at the Syracuse Jazz Fest) gave a genre-bending performance that nearly parted the waters at Jamesville Beach. Easily the best performance we saw in 2012.

Flute player Wouter Kellerman made his Syracuse debut and ended up dancing and playing up a storm at the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival.

Mike Houston and Anjela Lynn brought their soulful show to the Hill and easily became the most popular group to play the Sitrus Lounge in 2012.

Rick Ross played the Rock the Dome show and showed why he’s considered a boss.

Nothing but strings: The McGriff brothers may be Syracuse’s best kept classic secret. They are pictured here as part of the Connective Corridor’s In Motion Series from the Spring playing a mini Hip Hop symphony.

World Be Free almost rhymed the Syracuse Orangemen into the Final Four.

Sax on Stage: Jessy J kept it hot as the headliner for the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival.

Guitarist Edgar Pagan helped organize the Sandy Relief Concert at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.

Bill Horrace and his band took their show on the road and played a few gigs on the 443 Connective Corridor Bus.
