Hello Everyone:

I hope this finds everyone well rested from this summer. I know, not likely. Does anyone remember when you actually slowed down for summer! Well it flew by for me too!

Before I get started I want to thank Michael Lazaroff of Jazz Cruises, LLC, for taking the reigns for me on the last newsletter. We are exciting that many Bostonians will be joining us aboard the inaugural sailing (January 25-February 1, 2009) of the Playboy Jazz Cruise, hosted by Marcus Miller (www.playboyjazzcruise.com). Are you? I hope so. Please give Jazz Cruises or me a call to make your reservations.

The fall around here always means we are jam picked with some of the hottest shows of the year. Have you heard? It’s big. Chuck Mangione returns to Scullers in October after a six year absence, Tower Of Power will knock the doors down on November 20-22, The Sax Pack featuring Jeff Kashiwa, Kim Waters & Steve Cole make good on their promise to return after their incredible New Year’s Eve show at Scullers. This list goes on and on.

However, we take a departure from our usual post Thanksgiving Day routine this year. Instead of getting ready to pack it in for the holidays we are presenting 10 holiday themed shows with your favorite jazz and blues artists. Among those performing holiday classics along with their trademark tunes, John Pizzarelli, David Benoit, A Peter White Christmas with Mindi Abair & Rick Braun, Karrin Allyson & Johnny A-more to come. So we hope you’ll plan on spending some of you holiday time with us this year!

Until next time…we’ll catch you at the show!
