Day Three of the 2013 Syracuse Jazz Festival kept it hot. Ronnie Laws (with a voice every bit as rich as Lou Rawls) and Taylor Dane gave the fans all they could handle. Laws provided a great East Coast vs. West Coast love fest by blowing a tribute to the late Grover Washington, Jr. And from the looks of it, you’d never know Dane had her breakout hit, “Tell it To My Heart” over two decades ago. She announced that she’ll be returning to Central New York later to play a role in the Musical Cats.<\/p>\n

Also, one of the cool things about the final installment of this year’s edition was getting to see\u00a0collaboration\u00a0with folk from the local scene such as Neva Pilgrim (co-founder of the Society for New Music).\u00a0 Fans\u00a0also got\u00a0to hear the superior skills of supporting musicians like Chuck Lamb (Brubeck Brothers Quartet) and Perry Hughes (Michigan State University educator and guitarist for Ronnie Laws).<\/div>\n
