thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE —The Lake George Jazz Weekend will celebrate its 29th year on Sept. 15 and 16 with a solid lineup of acclaimed musicians presenting various genres of jazz. The free festival is to be held in the Shepard Park amphitheater, offering views of the lake in the background. Saturday’s performances begin at 1 p.m. with Emilio Solla and Bien Sur. Solla is a pianist, originally from Argentina, who is considered a leading advocate of the “tango jazz” idiom. Following Solla at 2:30 p.m. will be vocalist Sachal Vasandani, an acclaimed and charismatic male American jazz singer. The afternoon’s lineup closes out at 4:15 p.m.with Warren Wolf, a multi-instrumentalist who plays primarily vibraphone and has a reputation of being on the “cutting edge” of jazz.

At the Adirondack Nationals Car Show in Lake George on Saturday, Denis Corbile of Montreal (center, left) answers questions from Fred Guilefuss of Stillwater and his sons Fred and Erik about Corbile’s street rod, built out of a 1934 Ford Coupe. The body is a classic — restored from the original automobile —but the engine is a new 406-cubic inch monster that turns out 630 horsepower. Corbile said he has more than $120,000 invested.

Crowd enjoys Lake George car show By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Spinning tires of a 1970s muscle-car emitted a cloud of grey smoke and an ear-splitting shriek Saturday at about noon on Canada Street.

This “burnout” in heavy traffic during the Adirondack Nationals Car Show prompted loud cheers from people packed on the sidewalks of Lake George. The four-day event that brought an estimated 70,000 people to the village included cruise-ins with spectators shoulder-to-shoulder beside the streets.

They were treated to flashy chrome, thundering exhaust and sultry shapes of 1,500-plus custom and vintage vehicles, hot rods and muscle cars. About 30 yards away from the Saturday noon burnout, Denis Corbile of Montreal answered questions from gawkers about his street rod, built out
