And this past May, Brigande played in a band at a Central New York Jazz Arts Foundation event, which provides scholastic and public jazz programs for the Upstate ...

NYC Winter Jazzfest occupied the center of Greenwich Village on Friday and Saturday nights, holding down five clubs in a two-block radius, imposing its thoughtful ruckus on the normal Bleecker Street weekend: Long Island girls in microminis, corner dope dealers, 40-year-old boys taking in the Jets-Bengals game at a sports bar and then communing with Skynyrd covers over at the Back Fence. Now in its sixth year, the festival served several ends. It showed off 55 bands for the attendees ...
