Urban Video Project/Urban Cinematheque 2015 Film + Fair (Everson Plaza)

There were a bounty of music choices on the menu last night: You could have checked out the inaugural concert at the Lakeview Ampitheater; or you could have taken in the final show at the NYS Fair Grandstand, but if you are a lover of smooth jazz, the normally serene Salt Springs neighborhood was the place to be on Thursday.
For the fourth and final installment of the Jazz in the City Series CNY Jazz invited Four 80 East with guest Jeff Kashiwa to Le Moyne Plaza. They came, they played, the conquered.
Listen to the clip above as the band encourages the crowd in a blissful karaoke session. Every summer has a soundtrack, and we will always associate “Ah, Ah, Ooo” with 2015.
The venue, and it’s abundant lawn space, was the perfect place to beat the heat and conclude the summer music season.
Apparently it’s okay to save the best for last.
