On the verge of 30—Party Plans
This coming Friday, All About Jazz turns 30. Our 25th anniversary came and went with little fanfare, thanks to the party-pooper that was COVID-19. But this time, we're celebrating three decades online in grand stylestarting with a livestreamed concert from SMOKE Jazz Club featuring the Eric Alexander & Vincent Herring Quintet with Mike LeDonne, John Webber, and Lewis Nash. The 9 PM ET set will be broadcast exclusively and complimentary on All About Jazz. So if you're around next Friday night, grab a beverage and tune in. If you're the forgetful type (like me), just click the SET REMINDER button on this page. We'll email you the day of the showwe'll also send you a reminder via the website.
We're cooking up all kinds of goodies for our 30th year, with many new initiatives focused on celebrating youour community. One exciting project is the long-awaited Meet Up feature, designed to help members connect and organize gatherings to attend shows, visit hi-fi lounges, enjoy wine tastings, host listening parties, and more. It's all about bringing people together and having fun. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.
We're also running two giveaways to mark the occasion. Our latest is the Brad Mehldau Ride Into the Sun vinyl giveawayclick here to enter. The ECM Records Luminessence LP giveaway is still live with eight days left, so if you haven't entered that one yet, do it here.
