We met the Fugees when they came to Syracuse to promote their first album more than 20 years ago. They did an appearance at Cole’s Music World for 1490-AM WOLF. Somewhere we have a review of the album. Shout out to Kenny Dees for the introduction back in the day.

Gregory Porter at Jazz Fest
This Throwback Thursday post is all about Fantastic Friday. The first night of 33rd Annual Syracuse Jazz Fest is tomorrow,and if history is any indicator, you just can’t sleep on the splashes of surprise and brilliance that those opening night’s provide.
These photos are from a memorable Friday night at Jazz Fest 2012 (when the event was held at Jamesville Beach). Kenny G seemed to appear magically in the middle of the crowd that night, then marched toward the stage playing with harmonic precision. And of course, as we’ve stated before, the Porter debut in CNY was one of our favorite Jazz Fest performances ever. He sang so good we could almost couldn’t stand it.
We can’t wait for the surprises Frank Malfitano and his staff have up their sleeve tomorrow. Remember last year on Friday when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Trombone Shorty provided a healthy slice of New Orleans at Jazz Fest?
