A Bright Start to 2025 for JazzBuffalo!
As we kick off the new year, I’m thrilled to share the excitement of representing Buffalo nationally in New York this week at conferences at the Jazz at Lincoln Center and elsewhere in the Big Apple. The goal is to continue working to establish our city as a true jazz destination. Our vibrant jazz community is gaining recognition for its talent, passion, and incredible sense of togetherness.
While the year starts light, we have some fantastic events on the horizon to keep your love for jazz alive and thriving. Be sure to check out what’s coming up and dive into our JazzBuffalo Stories—a series of articles highlighting the people, places, and moments that make Buffalo’s jazz community so special.
Here’s to an exciting 2025, filled with opportunities to celebrate jazz and connect with one another!
Stay tuned for updates and, as always, thank you for being an essential part of the JazzBuffalo community.
Warm regards,
Tony Zambito
Executive Director, JazzBuffalo
