Saxophone phenom Chico Freeman returns to Jazz Central
Syracuse NY – Jazz Appreciation Month just got a lot jazzier in Central New York. The touring performance schedule continues at Jazz Cenral with a return engagement by Chico Freeman and his quartet, performing at 7:30 pm on Saturday April 8th. The saxophonist, composer, and producer is a veteran of the bands of Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Charles Mingus, Wynton Marsalis, and countless others and is recognized as one of the most important jazz musicians of our time. He is back in the states after more than a decade working in Europe. Advance sale tickets are on sale now at www.cnyjazz.org/cny-jazz-store/ for $20.00.
This date marks Freeman’s second appearance in Syracuse and the first since his 2019 debut appearance here before the pandemic. Freeman will lead a new group consisting of the Brubeck Brothers’ Chuck Lamb, Peter Mack on bass, and drummer Harvey Sorgen, veteran of groups ranging from Hot Tuna to Paul Simon to Santana to Ahmad Jamal.
Freeman is the product of an influential Chicago musical dynasty led by his father, legendary saxophonist and NEA Jazz Master Von Freeman, and uncles, guitarist George Freeman and drummer Bruz Freeman. A master of many styles ranging from R&B to blues, hard bop to avant-garde, Chico made his bones with Memphis Slim and Lucky Carmichael, then pop and R & B greats The Temptations, Michael Jackson, The Four Tops, Jackie Wilson, The Dells, The Isley Brothers, and The Eurythmics. He has performed with such jazz greats as Elvin Jones, Sun Ra, and Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey, Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Hank Jones, Freddie Cole, Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Roy Haynes, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Sting, plus Latin greats Tito Puente, Machito, Irakere, Arturo Sandoval, Celia Cruz, Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, and many others.
“Chico’s depth of talent and experience is among the heaviest on the planet ,” according to Larry Luttinger, founder of CNY Jazz and presenter of the event, which is underwritten by Mack Studios. “If you’re serious about witnessing jazz history in action, this should be a bucket list event for you. I know it’s an overused term, but this one is a must-see. Thanks so much to Peter Mack for making this happen for CNY Jazz.”
Only 75 tickets will be sold to this exclusive performance.

CNY Jazz Black History Cabaret presents female double bill
George Kilpatrick to receive Pioneer Public Service Award
Syracuse NY – On Sunday February 26th, this year’s CNY Jazz Black History Month Cabaret will raise the roof of the Marriott Syracuse Downtown’s Finger Lakes Ballroom with a 5:00 p.m. concert performance by Althea Rene and Jeanette Harris. George Kilpatrick, media pioneer and community affairs activist will be honored with the 2023 Pioneer Public Service Award. $35 advance sale tickets include a free buffet and are now available at https://www.cnyjazz.org/tickets/
Brackens Financial Solutions Network, LLC sponsors the event for the 15th year, with additional support from National Grid, Wegmans, WAER, UAW Region 9-NY, Visions Federal Credit Union, and others. CNY Jazz supporters Bill and Nancy Byrne have again graciously underwritten the buffet for the event, offered at no extra cost to all attendees.
The concert is a return engagement for Althea Rene, Detroit-born flutist, paired with saxophonist Jeanette Harris, dubbed the “Queens of Soul Jazz” in a rare all-female smooth jazz double bill. Rene is well-known to area jazz fans as a Motown music legacy, daughter of Dezie McCullers of the original Funk Brothers, the group that played for many Motown groups from the late 1950s through the 1970s. Harris, a native of Fresno California, is an instrumentalist and songwriter, having co-written hits with Norman Brown and Gerald Albright, with international touring experience with the legendary Teena Marie. Both artists log many thousands of miles annually, appearing in festivals and clubs worldwide.
“This by far the most groundbreaking duo we’ve ever presented to honor Black History Month and the powerful legacy of Black America’s music,” offered Larry Luttinger, CNY Jazz founder and leader. “Rene and Harris are pioneers in every way as jazz instrumentalists, singers, and songwriters, inspiring a new generation who thought it couldn’t be done. They’re already stars, and will become superstars in soul jazz for the 21st century. Come see history in the making for yourself.”
This year’s Pioneer Public Service Award will be given to radio and television host for iHeart Radio and WCNY George Kilpatrick, widely known across Upstate New York as the “progressive voice” of regional media, tireless community advocate, spokesperson for Syracuse Community Health Jazz in the City public health concert series, and founder of Syracuse’s Juneteenth celebration.
Parking is available in the garage directly to the southeast of the hotel. Patrons are cautioned that the former Hotel Syracuse garage no longer connects to the hotel via the overhead walkway.

January Jazzfest becomes Winter Jazzfest
CNY Jazz annual fundraiser rescheduled to February
Syracuse NY – The Seneca Savings January JazzFest, a fixture on the Syracuse area midwinter music scene since 2011, has moved to February 5th, renamed “Winter Jazzfest.” Still held at Mohegan Manor, Baldwinsville’s multi-story music venue, the event provides a full day of jazz and related musical styles accompanied by fine food and drink, serving as the annual fundraiser for CNY Jazz Central, the region’s primary provider of jazz in public and in schools since 1996.
“We’re adjusting to the longer NFL football schedule, plain and simple,” according to Larry Luttinger, CNY Jazz founder and leader. “We’ve always held this event on Pro Bowl Sunday, and when the NFL playoffs expanded last year, we felt the negative effects. So here we are, same great day of music, now in February.”
This year’s lineup features the nine-piece horn group Brass Inc playing funk, RnB, blues, and contemporary hits on the Manor’s second floor, rising star Vanessa Vacanti and the Jazz Mafia on the main floor, and Rick Montalbano and Julie Falatico curating the lineup in the downstairs bistro. The event always concludes with a celebrity jazz session. A special jazz menu and full drink selection will be available throughout the day.
“We’re going with a more fun dance party vibe this time around,” said Luttinger. “Definitely come ready to party with your best dancing shoes on. Bring some cash for our prize raffles, and remember, everyone gets a wristband for reentry, if you have to pop out for a bit. Consider this a “funraiser,” not your average rubber chicken banquet for sure.”
Proceeds from the festival will support the scholastic activities of the CNY Jazz “Educational Pipeline” of scholastic programs including the SummerJazz Workshop and CNY Jazz Youth Orchestra, as well as their arts-in-education service. A long list of corporate and media sponsors helps underwrite the annual event, including title sponsor Seneca Savings, Mohegan Manor, Riccelli Trucking, Scott Northrup’s State Farm agency, Hearth Cabinets and More, OneGroup, J.R. Clancy, Griffin Insulation, WAER FM88 and CNY Latino. This year’s commercial radio sponsor is The Dinosaur, whose on-air personalities, Bob Brown, John Carucci, and Tony Fallico, will serve as emcees.
Ticketholders will be given re-entry wristbands so that they may come and go at any time during the 7-hour day of continuous music. A “your choice” raffle will be held throughout the day. Mask wearing is encouraged but not required.
Advance sale tickets are on sale now for $25 at https://www.cnyjazz.org/tickets/ and are $30 at the door.

Skaneateles CNY Jazz Club series extended through March
Events will continue until lease expires
Syracuse NY – Jazz On Tap, the longest-running weekly “jazz club” offerings of CNY Jazz, was to be discontinued by Thanksgiving, due to the historic 1880 building housing the 60-tap restaurant Finger Lakes on Tap being sold. The series has been given new life, slated to continue concerts through March 2023, providing a variety of American music styles to the lakeside village until the property’s lease expires in April.
The best jazz and jazz-inflected musical groups from across the extended Central New York region including the Finger Lakes and Ithaca will appear, starting with their now-traditional “New Year’s Day Party” with Angelo Candela and his group. The remainder of the spring schedule includes veterans of the series as well as new faces, including Stringdom, Mike Houston & Sam Wynn, Julie Howard, Jimmy Johns Trio, Carol Bryant Quartet, Dan Pugh Trio, Little Jazz Trio, Bob Piorun Quartet, Edgar Pagan’s GPL, Julie Falatico & Rick Montalbano, Steve Brown Duo, and Alex Becerra & Friends.
There is no cover charge. Early arrival is recommended at the cozy two-story venue, with balcony seating available overlooking the stage.
“We’re thankful for the extension of this series, which has provided unique, regular cultural offerings for Skaneateles since 2015,” said Larry Luttinger of CNY Jazz, curator of the series. “Tom Ierardi, the creator of this venue, is to be commended for his vision and perseverance. The various club series that we present around the area are important introductions to America’s music for many uninitiated music lovers, and folks who still don’t know all that CNY Jazz does. These afternoon sessions are easy listening, engaging, exciting, and eye opening for many new to the genre. We’re sorry to see them go.”
CNY Jazz Club discount cards will be honored for 10% off food and drink at remaining events.

TNT unveils next “Syracuse as Canvas” mural at Jazz Central
Live music at reception October 28th
Syracuse NY – The second of eight murals planned for urban Syracuse by Tomorrow’s Neighborhoods Today will be unveiled with a free happy hour reception on Friday October 28th from 4 to 6 p.m. at Jazz Central, 441 E. Washington Street.
Muralist Cecily Thomas will be on hand to talk about her inspiration for “THIS MUST BE THE PLACE” the 90-foot work that spans the entire length of the west wall of the building, which houses the CNY Jazz Offices, education hub, and Jazz Central theater. Live music will be provided by Mark Hoffmann’s” Swing This!” and finger foods and cash bar will be available.
According to Thomas, “I wanted to create something bold so that you can’t help but read it. My hope is that when people look at this mural, they immediately think of all the reasons why Syracuse is such a wonderful place. I think that whether you grew up here or are a transplant, it’s easy to take pride in the fact that this is your home. Syracuse must be the place!”
City officials will be in attendance at the event, including Common Councilor Jimmy Monto, tireless advocate and President of Tomorrow’s Neighborhoods Today (TNT), who continues to lead the citywide project. From his point of view, he sees that “Syracuse is experiencing an art Renaissance of sorts, and it’s beautiful to see. These projects scream civic pride; and the support from the community has been utterly astonishing. We have to keep investing our time and resources in artists, they do what they do out of pride and love for this city of ours.”
CNY Jazz leader and founder Larry Luttinger added, “This mural is so visually arresting, it demands your attention, with a strong, positive declaration. Many thanks to Jimmy and the folks at TNT who voted for our building as one of the eight mural locations. As the first arts center collaborating with a TNT visual artist, this amplifies our place in the cultural firmament of downtown. Soon, we’ll be serving the city’s newest neighborhood, when I-81 comes down. When that happens, we’ll be ready to serve the new “Downtown East” with cultural services, in a beautiful setting.”
Mural number 3 is currently underway on the side of the Palace Theater in Eastwood at the corner of James Street and Stafford Avenue.

Health outreach concerts conclude at Thornden Park
National artist centerpiece of final event
Syracuse NY – In the midst of a late summer resurgence of the virus and back-to-school health concerns, the Jazz in the City public health outreach concert series wraps up its summer tour of city parks with a final concert in Thornden Park this Thursday at 6 p.m. with smooth jazz saxophonist, flutist, and singer Paula Atherton. The concerts travel with food and craft vendors and a healthcare village. Central to the village is the presence of Syracuse Community Health, scheduling appointments for vaccinations and boosters, answering questions about shots for tots, back-to-school vaccinations and many more current health concerns, referring those unable to find personal physicians, and giving free health screenings. As incentives, scratch-off lottery tickets will be given to all who travel through the health center tents. All in attendance will receive goodie bags filled with health information and test kits.
The Billboard chart-topping Paula Atherton brings her New York City band to the occasion for a three-hour performance with local “dance for health” troupe 1Accord Line Dance as their opening act. Atherton is adept at both smooth jazz and mainstream styles, having worked with artists as diverse as The Rippingtons, Chieli Minucci, Hank Jones, and Dee Dee Bridgewater. She is a regular on the international festival and jazz cruise circuit. This will be her first performance in Syracuse.
“Paula is the perfect closer for our series, and the concert location is perfect, in my humble opinion,” said Larry Luttinger CNY Jazz leader and series organizer. “We’re setting up on the Westcott Nation side of the park near the pool, playing to the huge lawn area next to it. There’s plenty of parking along the park road. Everyone is welcome to bring chairs, tents, and make the evening a family party. You can even get come exercise in by joining the line dancers for some fun. It’s more than a concert, it’s a festival, and I’m asking everyone who can attend to bring a family member to visit the health center tent and all the healthcare providers there.”
The healthcare village providers on hand include Hope Connections Recovery, a program of Catholic Charities; Molina Healthcare, ACR Health, Excellus, the New York State Department of Mental Health, Fidelis Care, YMCA, and Humana. The Prevention Center will give out NARCAN kits and training in their use.
All Jazz in the City concerts are free and open to the public.

Jazz in the City visits West Side with public health concert
Free concerts spread current public health information
Syracuse NY – The “Jazz in the City” public health concert series shifts emphasis to the West Side this Thursday, with a free concert by legendary funk and soul band Atlas at Leavenworth Park, near Middle Ages Brewery. Food vendors will be available, urban arts and craft vendors will show their creations, and a “healthcare village” of family service providers including a mobile unit from Syracuse Community Health will be present to give screenings and consultations to all, with NYS Lottery scratch-off prizes as incentives.
The current iteration of Atlas, the funky horn group nearing 50 years of existence as an in-demand all-star group, includes the new addition of Berklee grad Lisa Denise on vocals, a veteran of groups led by Roy Ayers, Lucy Pearl, and Dawn Robinson of En Vogue. Opening act 1Accord Line Dance will perform in front of the stage to open the show at 6:00 p.m. and all are invited to join in.
Syracuse Community Health will continue to reward those lining up to receive health screenings, seek primary physicians, and make appointments for adult boosters and child vaccinations. “Last time at Skiddy Park we ran out of scratch-offs in the first hour. This time we’ll be stocking up with more, hopefully enough to last through the entire event,” observed Larry Luttinger, series organizer. “Our goal is to convince everyone to bring a reluctant or just isolated family member, friend, or neighbor to these events to be counseled and screened. It’s that simple. We just have to hang together to beat the many negative effects of this public health gap in our city.”
The Prevention Network will continue to give out free NARCAN kits and the short training course needed to administer them. Healthcare Village members on hand to answer questions include Hope Connections Recovery, a program of Catholic Charities, Molina Healthcare, ACR Health, Excellus, the New York State Department of Mental Health, Fidelis Care, YMCA, and Humana.
