Stephen Wise, Live at Munjed’s (circa 2015)
Gina Bryant was a guest vocalist with the Shawn Seals Experience this evening. The event, which was held at Munjed’s Restaurant, was part of the Urban Solution Group’s Jumpstart Jazz Fest Weekend.
This performance by Stephen Wise serves as a good bridge between last week’s NYS Blues Fest and this weekend’s M&T Jazz Fest.
Songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Stephen Wise seems to have made a real connection with the fans here in Syracuse. He made a return last night to play a show at Munjed’s. He played flute, alto and soprano sax, sang, and even gave a short clinic on circular breathing and the didgeridoo. Wise told the crowd that he will soon be leaving his base in Philadelphia for new horizons in Jamaica.
Houston to Washington: From one generation to the next, the Syracuse music scene has roots that go deep and wide. Guitarist Jeff Houston caught a groove with drummer Emanuel Washington and keyboardist Travis Reed (not pictured) during a recent Art & Soul Cafe event at Munjed’s.
