Re: The SmallsLIVE Foundation Newsletter
That is great news. I've been there once, and it was memorable. And a very short walk from Smalls, so you can do both in the same night with ease. Spike posted this on Facebook last night. Means I still might have a chance to see Mezzrow: :) As hard as it is for me to believe this, the Mezzrow 10 ye...

The 58th National Jazz Festival (NZ)
I suspect this is the jazz festival least likely to be cancelled or postponed in 2021.
The 58th National Jazz Festival
April 1-4, 2021
Tauranga, New Zealand

Of course, you have to be fortunate enough to either live in New Zealand or be able to get there.

Tonight and tomorrow will be our last public shows f...
