Hi Everyone,

      As many of you already know I've moved to Brooklyn, N.Y. I had hoped to have one last jazz soiree @ my house on Merrill, but time ran out and things started moving too quickly for that. Steve and I will be in Atlanta the last weekend in Jan. for his retirement party @ Mercer University, and I have arranged to have my going away party on Sunday, Jan. 31st, from 2-5 PM.

      Phil Clore and I decided to combine it with the monthly SOJA concert, and Joe Gransden has agreed to host a jam that afternoon. The core players that day will be Joe on trumpet and vocals, Kenny Banks on piano, Neal Starkey on bass and Justine Varnes on drums. 

     I'm hoping lots of other musicians will come and sit in, which should be great fun. ( ** If you're a musician, please come, no cover for you. Just bring your voice or "ax.") 

     The donation that day will be the usual $25 per adult and light bites and drinks will be included.  Please RSVP by email as soon as possible, if you plan to come.
>   I hope to see you at my "last Atlanta Hurrah"...
