Good resource for #Jazz books at Avenue Victor Hugo Book Shop @AVHBookShop in #NewHampshire + online. avenuevictorhugobooks.com/
@Michael_Quinlin I see you're a jazz enthusiast. We obtained a collection of books for jazz critic Rudi Blesh a few years ago and we still have several of those volumes on the shelves and rare signed books behind the desk.
As always, nice preview by @jgarelick @BostonGlobeArts of 10 stellar #jazz concerts coming to town in the fall. @MassJazz @TheWilburyGroup @RockportMusic @ScullersJazz @TheRegattabar @Jazz247GBH @tomlucci @MeetBostonUSA bostonglobe.com/2023/09/08/a…

We appreciate this @BerkleeCollege student's perspective : "Art is related to life. I will travel to different countries to see the local cultures, how people express themselves through gestures such as art exhibitions, films, literature, photography, and languages... "

We love the playing of Johnny Hodges, from #cambridgeMA. @JazzBoston @Jazz247GBH @WICN905 @CambridgeUSA
Remembering Johnny Hodges:
July 25, 1907 – May 11, 1970
Benny Goodman described Johnny Hodges as "by far the greatest man on alto sax that I ever heard."
Listen to Bird and Johnny together on “Funky Blues.”
