Swing Has Sprung! April Jazz Shows

Hey there! So I am going to trim down my calendar postings, not because there aren't a lot of jazz shows in April (there are TONS), but because I think it could be info overload otherwise. What would make my entire day (ok, month!) would be if those who know of additional shows would post them as comment to this blog entry. That way, the whole world can see it (or at least the 17 people who check this listing) and can check out shows based on others' recommendations, not just mine. I've felt very excited recently that a handful of folks have mentioned attending shows based upon seeing them here - so this is a great place to share that info!

OK, let me put down my pom poms and tell you what's happening in April. Email or call if you want to go to a show and would like company. Have a great month!
