We seem to be entering into yet another hot and dry summer. Fortunately, Austin area watering holes are nice and wet, so you can enjoy the great sound of traditional jazz and have your favorite flammable beverage at the same time. At the Austin Traditional Jazz Society, we are putting the final touches on the 2017-178 schedule, and should have it out to you soon in a rare summer edition of the ATJS Jazz Messenger. In the meantime, happy listening!
