Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review, October 28 - November 3

November 3, 2011

Twin Cities Jazz Week in Review, October 21-27

October 28, 2011

What I missed in the past week might have made for a really good week of jazz. What I heard live, however, made for a stellar series worthy of a festival in any city.
