Dear Friends:

I just want to wish everyone a blessed and peaceful New Year.  I enter 2019 with a stronger commitment to this music and our traditions.  I feel that the community of artists, fans and jazz people is stronger than ever and that music is the key to peace in the world.  We are the wordless communicators.  Our values are adult ones - love, joy, passion, anger and commitment.  I thank everyone for the support at the clubs and look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year.

New Years Eve -

At Mezzrow is the wonderful Maucha Adnet and Duduka da Fonseca.  There are still some reserved seats available at this writing.  Doors at Mezzrow will be at 8pm and the first set will be 9:30 PM.  CLICK HERE for info.

At Smalls we have Johnny O'Neal and his trio.  Doors open at 8:30 PM.  He does two sets, one at 9:30 PM and one at 11PM.  Sets are $40 each and it is a first come / first served situation so get there early if you want to be there for New Years.

I thank everyone and send my best wishes to you and your loved ones.

PEACE,

Spike
