AAJ @ 30 Celebration. Who should we book?

All About Jazz is gearing up for our 30th anniversary starting in August 2025 and we're planning an unforgettable anniversary with what we hope is a spectacular series of concerts. Our first show is scheduled for sometime in September 2025 at Rizzoli Bookstore in New York, and we are also considering events in Los Angeles and other cities. We thought it would be fun to have our members suggest who we should consider presenting for our anniversary concerts> Just identify your favorite six jazz musicians or bands and we'll explore options with venues about presenting them at your favorite venue.

To vote, just start typing their name, SELECT, and move on to the next choice. Thanks for participating!
