A New Season of Art Meets Jazz Begins!
Thank you for joining us this past Sunday for a magnificent Art of Jazz Series concert with Joe Alterman. Your energy, trust, and support transformed the afternoon into a true celebration and joyful time. We are deeply grateful for every one of you who made the afternoon so memorable.
I’m excited to share that our unifying Art Meets Jazz events return starting next Wednesday at the Hunt Art Gallery and Beebe’s at the Gallery. These gatherings are more than concerts—they’re opportunities to come together and celebrate the unity of visual art and the art of live music in our community. They were truly special in 2024 and I know they will be in 2025!
Thank you again for being such an essential part of the JazzBuffalo family. Let’s keep jazz and the community spirit alive!
Warm regards,
Tony Zambito
Executive Director, JazzBuffalo
