How We Thrive – Jazz in Isolation

Date: Wednesday January 20th from 7:30-9pm

JazzBoston will be presenting a free online forum, in which 4 jazz musicians describe their process of producing streaming “isolation videos” of their music.

The idea is to present a few ways in which artists can continue to be creative and share music with the public during these challenging times.

Detailed information is in the January 2021 newsletter.

Zoom link will be posted soon!

Boston Jazz History Blog:  Connolly’s Stardust Room

Boston jazz historian Richard Vacca’s Boston Jazz Chronicles website is an amazing and valuable resource.  We encourage jazz musicians and fans to check it out.

In addition, Vacca maintains a beautifully researched blog with regular features about noted people & places that helped shape the Boston-area jazz scene.  The current entry is about Connolly’s Stardust Room, a jazz club on Tremont St in Roxbury from 1956-1998.  Read Richard Vacca’s history of the club here.
