Dear Jazz Is Here Community,

A warm thank you to our loyal subscribers and a hearty welcome to our newest members: Debra, Will, Cam, Joel, Jaimoe, Marland, Sheila, Jonathan, and Andy!

This Week’s Highlight: Dive into the full concert featuring Houston Person! Our Jazz & Samba Conversations series blends performance clips with insightful talks. Watch the entire live show, recorded last year at the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, a free event we proudly produced for the Harlem community.

Next Week: Don’t miss a fresh episode of WJ3 Sessions, in collaboration with the incredible drummer Willie Jones III. Our guest is alto saxophonist Justin Robinson, known for his work with the Harper Brothers, Betty Carter, Abbey Lincoln, Diana Ross, and Roy Hargrove’s quintet and big band. Here are two photos from the recording session at the legendary Van Gelder Studios, home of some of the most important jazz albums in history.
