Time to thank all the talented & terrific guests who appeared on the program for 2008 (Guitarist Joel Harrison wraps it up for the year) It's with irony that Joel's the one....saw his band at Toronto early January in what turned out to be the final IAJE annual convention. Among those on the list is one [1] non-working musician; Jim Nadel, founder & director of Stanford Jazz (who plays, BTW). Also Javon Jackson was on with us twice......in studio a few hours before hitting on the main stage at San Jose Jazz Festival, and a couple of months later on the release of his New Palmetto- Records CD.

Often, managers, publicists and others are involved in helping to put these appearances together. Thank You All!!
