They say "the 3rd Time's the Charm". We'll test that on September 14th when, for the 3rd time this summer, we'll try to stage the Jeff McDonald Big Band on our patio for our 2025 mini Jazz Festival.
Please note that our schedule extends from 2 PM to 7 PM. And indoors, our jam sessions will be anchored by multi-instrumentalist, Dave Kosmyna. Watch this space for more details!

Change of Plans!
Our MJF "postponement decision window" closed on Wednesday evening (and what a storm we had that night!). At that time, the weather forecast for Sunday was deteriorating quickly. In consultation with Jeff McDonald, it seemed best to cancel the Big Band component of our Mini Jazz Festival (MJF) and revert back to a regular Second Sunday Jazz Jam (SSJJ) event, which we've done.
Of course, as I write this on Thursday, the forecast has improved for Sunday, so we should have a great time (indoors) with Pete Ford, et al. With good weather, we'll have umbrellas up on the patio.
