Beard Park in Fayetteville comes alive with the sounds of jazz on Wednesday July 19th. with a free concert. Joe Cortini and his Jazz Mafia will headline the show with featured vocalist Vanessa Vacanti.

Vanessa is a mainstay on the Central New York jazz scene with several high-profile performances at Syracuse and Fulton Jazz Festivals as well as club dates throughout Central New York and frequently works with The Jazz Mafia Trio. The synergy she creates with her band is electric and is often found only after years of on-stage performance. She has it down to a science and is able to lead both the band and the audience on a musical journey.

The Jazz Mafia Trio, lead by drummer Joe Cortini is the Syracuse’s favorite straight ahead jazz trio. With Dave Solazzo on piano and Matt Vacanti on bass, they are sure to bring you a swinging evening of live music. Vanessa and the trio are also looking forward to sharing the stage with special guest jazz legend Ronnie Leigh, which will surely make the evening one to remember.
