Happy Holidays!

The Jazz Cruise January 17-24!
The long awaited and sold out 2022 Jazz Cruise is just six weeks away.
We need to confirm that we have everyone's name that is going on the Jazz Cruise next month. Yesterday we sent an Email to all eighty people that we have on the master list. If you didn't receive one of those Emails, please let us know. This is very important in our sponsor partnership with the Jazz Cruise. It is also important for our bus transportation and onboard reception.
If you are not sure that we know you will be on the cruise, send a not to:
BTW The Jazz Cruise 2023 will be announced later this month. We'll keep you posted!


Jazz Festival Headliners Announced!


We are so excited to announce our most ambitious festival lineup in years. Four great main stage performances starting on Wed. March 16 with John Pizzarelli & Catherine Russell and ending on Saturday, March 19 with the Arturo Sandoval Band!

The list of jazz greats goes on and on. Tickets will go on sale later this month. Check the JCS website for updates.

We want to thank Michael Lazaroff and Jazz Cruises for once again being the festival's Presenting Sponsor.

This array of talent is only possible because of the generosity of "Artist Sponsors", including Rachel Domber & Arbors Records sponsorship of Dick Hyman and Ken Peplowski; Diane Foxman's sponsorship of Houston Person; and Conrad Kenley & Melonie Favorite's sponsorship of Terrell Stafford!
Additional Artist Sponsorships are needed ranging from $2,000 to $5,000. Please contact Ed Linehan to learn more about the package of Sponsor Perks!

Jazz Jam Group Being Organized!
Here's a great new opportunity for players looking to play more frequently. Ron Kushner, a new arrival with his wife from NY, has formed a "Nextdoor Group" and a companion "Meetup Group" both called "Jazz Jamming in SRQ." Ron hopes that players from Sarasota and Manatee counties will sign-up and plan sessions. The links to these groups are on the right!
