The following signatures represent our collective sadness at the possible elimination of half our opportunities to gather as a community with a common interest in supporting both upcoming and established musicians in the world of Jazz, and to honor the legacy of Larry Garland, and his presence at The Pressroom. In a world of such divisiveness, chances to find joy and appreciation in unity seem rare. It's a shame to even thing about lessening that prospect.
Weekly jazz night at the Press Room has been a long-standing anchor of our local jazz scene. It would be sad to see this change from weekly to bi-weekly, and if it means needing to charge a few bucks for a cover to justify a weekly event, so be it. Our city is changing quickly, and one way for an iconic establishment like the Press Room to retain its character as a community hub is to support the weekly jazz jam. Thank you.
