Historic Oneonta Jazz

Last night Foothills was the lucky venue for an historic night of great jazz.  Groups from Hartwick and SUCO, students and pros alike, took the stage, TOGETHER.  I was blown away by the enthusiasm and the musical potential in our town.  The styles were eclectic, tunes for eveyone in the mix, and the evening spoke to something I think we should hold very dear – pride.  How fitting that jazz, an American idiom, music of the folks, should be the vehicle for this outpouring of talent in our midst.  More jazz please, more Oneonta Jazz.
