Get ready Buffalo… this city is about to come alive with the sounds of some serious jazz! Starting on Monday, July 24, the Colored Musicians Club (CMC) is launching a week of live jazz performances in the form of the highly anticipated CMC Centennial Jazz Festival.
The event is part of CMC’s 100 year anniversary. We’re talking about a club that has helped to keep jazz alive in Buffalo for 100 years… a club that continues to promote jazz in various ways, so that we can all experience the steeped and storied rhythmic sounds that have been coursing through this city’s veins for a century.
