Jon Summers from WKBW-TV Channel 7's "AM Buffalo" visited the Barton Hill Hotel & Spa in Lewiston Wednesday to film segments about the Historic Lewiston Jazz Festival. The TV segments will air this Friday and next Wednesday.

The 15th annual Jazz Festival will take place Friday and Saturday, Aug. 26-27, along Center Street. The headlining acts slated to take the main stage include National Jazz Award winner for Best Female Vocalist, Molly Johnson, and multi-platinum-selling singer, saxophonist, producer and songwriter Curtis Stigers.
