Member Match for Spring Campaign

Member Match for Spring Campaign

Sometimes leaving a dollar in a tip jar encourages others to tip. Our Member Match funding is sort of like that. We ask our new and re-joining members to give now, ahead of the Spring Membership Campaign (3/20-27), to encourage others to do the same. We use this money to match other new and re-joining pledges. Thank you in advance.

Ron Galon RIP

Ron Galon RIP

Jazz has lost a great advocate. Ron Galon passed away on February 26, 2010.

Roberto Fonseca: A Life in the Spirit

Recognition for the considerable talent of Cuban pianist, Roberto Fonseca has spread far and wide, and if there was another dimension to enter, it would be the one that qualifies an artist to greatness.

Monk Sextet 38th Annual Lakeland Jazz Festival Kirtland, Ohio February 27, 2010 Although the last of the February snow onslaughts tried its best to kill the 38th annual Lakeland Jazz Festival--the longest-running jazz festival in Northeast Ohio--and did, indeed, postpone trumpeter Sean Jones’ scheduled February 26 performance until a later date, drummer T. S. Monk and his sextet bravely battled the elements to make it into Kirtland, Ohio, and entertain a room admirably filled for such a blustery night...
