SSSHHH!!
Don't tell anyone, but we're giving out our first "Jazz Bridge Award" on Sunday December 5th at the Sunday Jam Sessions at the La Rose Jazz Club, located in historic Germantown. Great food, in an intimate cabaret setting, and free parking at 5531 Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia. The board voted and one special person in the jazz and blues community will be receiving this award. The night is also a fundraiser for Jazz Bridge to replenish our general operating fund that helps our local musicians.
Tickets are $15-No Advance Sales. The fun starts at 6 p.m., so come and have a great time...but don't tell anyone who the award winner is, okay? We wouldn't want to spoil anything. |

I'm sending the calendar into the printer at the end of this week folks, so you have to let me know now if you want your name prominently displayed on the calendar this year. This year we're honoring saxophonist Billy Root, Grover Washington Jr., Charles Fambrough, vocalist Pearl Williams, violinist Joe Venuti, pianist Beryl Booker and many others. For $50 you can show that you are a supporter of Jazz Bridge and our local jazz and blues community. Plus, you get to deduct the amount from your taxes too!
