Friday, Juneteenth – 7pm
Walter Earl, jazz pianist
a solo live stream
Jazz in the bookshop, every Friday! Jazz in America, and around the world, every minute of every day since the turn of the last century… and who can say when it really started. But jazz as we know it? It’s here now!
This week, we present a return engagement

Stop by our live stream on facebook for a beautiful solo performance this Friday evening, from 7 to 8:30pm.
