Dear Jazzbuddies,

Before I share information about the upcoming Benny Goodman's 100th Birthday concerts, I wish to brief you on the status of Jazzbuddies. To make a long story short, for the past two years I have been focusing on some personal challenges and Jazzbuddies had to take a hiatus. During this time away from Jazzbuddies I came to the conclusion that I have enjoyed bringing this service to you and now wish to move on to other things. It has been my privilege to bring the Jazzbuddies postings to you and I appreciate all of the friends and acquaintances this labor of love has afforded me. Thank you for your support over the years!

It has been and remains my policy not to share your email address with anyone. For your information, I have been in contact with my good friend Vincent Oneppo (Director of Concerts & Media) at theYale School of Music (YSM) about gaining access to the Jazzbuddies Mailing list. I have decided to provide his email address should you express interest in contacting him directly about joining their email list. Among the many YSM concert series, they provide a great jazz series which I have included in past Jazzbuddies postings. You may contact Vinnie by sending email to vincent...@yale.edu.
