We have arrived on Memorial Day weekend. A time to remember the men and women who served our country and sacrificed their lives for our country. The weekend traditionally marks the return of summer jazz. Outdoors that is. This year will be an exceptional return as we rise out of the darkest days of the pandemic. And hope for better days ahead.

In Remembrance
We were all saddened by the news of the passing of Phil DiRe this week. One of the most influential contributors to jazz history in the Buffalo region. He will be forever linked to the pioneering Buffalo Jazz Ensemble in the 1970s. The first federally funded program of an ensemble and education program in support of jazz. A diverse mix of talented musicians who later went on to create works of their own. Including the core of Spyro Gyra. Phil found success in business and in preserving through the ups and downs of life as well as personal tragedy. Yet, through it all, he built a legacy of love and family first. Including the jazz family in Buffalo. He will be sorely missed. May our remembrance of Phil DiRe live on in the music of jazz.
