Jazz St. Louis is proud to have our Jazz at the Bistro Series named "St. Louis' Best Jazz Club" by St. Louis Magazine in their "A-List" issue (on newstands now!). They had some very nice things to say about the club, and even about this blog (great job Bob!).

The entry is listed below:

Don Wolff will be recording his new television show, "I Love Jazz" at Jazz at the Bistro on Tuesday, June 24. If you would like to be in the audience for the taping, please come to the Bistro at 7 pm. There is no charge, and it is an opportunity to see how a show is made.

This Summer, you will have the rare opportunity to hear the fantastic Jazz St. Louis All-Stars and Jazz St. Louis staff members Gene Dobbs Bradford and Bob Bennett as they perform as a part of the Whitaker Urban Evening Series. The series takes place every Thursday Evening from June 19 through July 24 at St. Louis Place Park at Rauschenbach Avenue and St. Louis Avenue

We are looking for volunteers to help staff our booth at the Saint Louis Jazz & Heritage Festival on Saturday, May 31st. If you are interested, please email Melissa Jones at melissa@jazzstl.org. The festival promises to be a great one with acts like Cassandra Wilson and Joe Sample. You can read all about it below.

By now, many of you (educators and non-educators) have received our Education brochure for the 2008-2009 season. This is a new piece for us and I wanted to take a moment to explain what it is and how to use it.
