ZURI TO RETURN TO BUFFALO TO PLAY JAZZ FEST

One of Buffalo’s historic cultural institutions celebrates 100 years of existence this year. To help mark their centennial, the Colored Musicians Club will host an expanded jazz festival this summer.

This year’s festival, which begins July 24, will extend six days and, according to planners, will feature about 150 performers at several venues across town.

“One of our stages will be our upstairs stage that Monday with the Slow Roll,” said Walter Kemp, board members and artistic director of the Colored Musicians Club. “On Tuesday we’ll have Larkinville involved with the food truck, and then we’ll come back upstairs with (bassist) Zuri Appleby. She had a chance to do a big tour and she’ll be coming home to do our afterparty.”
