| Wall Street Jazz Festival Saturday, August 30 in Kingston, NY For the eleventh consecutive year, on a glorious end-of-summer night, the intersection of Wall and North Front Streets in Kingston will become "The Jazz Corner of Upstate New York." Once again, in an evening of music that should not be missed, the Wall Street Jazz Festival presents an array of some of today's finest jazz artists – pianist Laura Dubin's trio, saxophonist Virginia Mayhew's quintet, pianist Roberta Piket's sextet, plus two all-star ensembles featuring saxophonists "Sweet" Sue Terry and Claire Daly, singers Jay Clayton and Teri Roiger, pianist (and the festival's Artistic Director) Peggy Stern, among others. For many years now, this annual event has been one of the highlights of my summer, an exciting and engaging way to enjoy the music I love in an elegant, intimate, and inviting setting.
