Several years ago I was hanging with a jazz-cat friend of mine named Johnny (not to be confused with Jimmy Johns). He was paging through club listings and came across an announcement that Luther Vandross was coming to the Landmark Theater.
That would be quite a show he said. We decided to get tickets.
Johnny is in a band called Eye Level, which cut a CD at Skaneateles’ Sub Cat Studios on Fennell Street. He is a member of some union, so when the name brand acts come to town, say “The Temptations,” and they need to pick up musicians, he blows his sax.
I was not a Luther fan, but I had seen a program on how he arranged the voices for his music...
