Jazz Record Listening Club

Jazz Record Listening Club - It's like a book club but for jazz! 

Each month we pick 2 jazz records: one well known and another that is lesser known.

When we gather we'll talk about the records we listened to in a variety of ways. One person might share a poem or painting they wrote while listening. Another person might share some research they did on the players. Another person might really like "track three" and share their thoughts on why that is. Then at the end of the meeting, we'll assign two more records. 

Sound like fun? Join us!
