JazzFest Producer says the "Festival Universe" is Changing

Courtesy Syracuse JazzFest

Just days after JazzFest at Jamesville Beach, Producer Frank Malfitano wants fans to share their thoughts.  He stopped by the WAER studios to give us his take which is quite candid.  Overall, he feels the festival went very well and the performers he says were really into it.  Click here to listen to a WAER web exclusive interview with Malfitano.

Although Malfitano is still crunching the numbers, it looks as though the 375-thousand dollar festival that is free to attend will break even this year.   

To leave your thoughts about the festival, you can go to Facebook /SyracuseJazzFest.  Their website is also at SyracuseJazzFest.com.
