From BuffaloJazz.org:
“According to George Scott (President of the Colored Musicians Club), when the concept of the Colored Musicians Club Jazz Festival first originated approximately ten plus years ago, it was dreamed that one year there could be a week-long festival. That year finally arrives for the 2017 CMC Jazz Festival, Presented by M&T Bank the week of July 24th.”
“On Friday, June 28th get ready for “Funk-n-Soul Friday” as we welcome home Buffalo native Zuri Appleby who will be performing with Arianna Powell and Daniel “DP” Powell for two shows. This pair met during their touring with Nick Jonas and immediately began a collaborative venture.” Check out the recent performance at Buffalo Iron Works:
