Lizz Wright was a wonderful, engaging performer. But the sound system was so overwhelming that we could not understand the lyrics and thus missed almost completely the stories she was telling us. And Pedro Martinez's sound system was awful. It is difficult to find a venue these days that allows us to appreciate the music. Tiresome is the word
The 2016 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival runs Friday, June 24, through Saturday, July 2, and City Newspaper will be out every night of the festival, covering multiple shows.
