We’ve seen a few classy tributes done by the CNY Jazz Arts Foundation over the years: one for Doug Johnston in 2006; one for Saundra Smokes in 2012, and this past weekend, the group recognized jazz patron Paul Russo (see below). We’ll do our own shout out to Hamilton Bohannon for the sounds, and Eric Cohen for the announcement.

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.

If you can’t find something to do in the city or around the region this weekend, you just aren’t looking hard enough. We want to check out ArtsWeek 2014 and the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival.
