G is for Grateful
One positive thought produces millions of positive vibrations.
John Coltrane
As our fiscal year draws to a close, we want to thank YOU, all of our wonderful fans, donors, grantors, and partners. While this was a less than traditional year for all of us, we hope you’ve enjoyed the livestream shows, the jazz history, listening tips, and music fun we’ve shared. We are looking forward to our upcoming season and can’t wait to share more details soon! In the meantime, we couldn’t have done this without your generous support and encouragement.
We also want to give a special shout-out to the Bop Stop, who made the livestreams possible, and who really helped keep the music alive in the CLE!
