The more things change, the more they stay the same at the Riverfront Jazz Festival.
The 8th annual event is temporarily moving to buildings inside Fair Park amid the reconstruction of its longtime home, Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. But the festival itself is holding steady with its mélange of jazz, R&B, funk and blues.
Here are noteworthy artists playing Labor Day weekend.
FRIDAY: R&B singers Lyfe Jennings , Raheem DeVaughn and Stokley pay tribute to the late Roberta Flack, Roy Ayers, Angie Stone and Frankie Beverly, four artists who’ve performed at the Black Academy of Arts and Letters , which runs the festival. Fest-goers are asked to wear all-white and bring a red rose or white carnation.
SATURDAY: Singer-keyboardist P.J. Morton and vocalist Peabo Bryson top
