A New Year's Break

8495 is taking a one-week break, but we won't leave you tuneless!

The 8495Jazz newsletter is taking the week off, but we'll be back next Sunday with our jazz resolutions for 2025 and early January gig list.

To keep the flame alive, though, here's a pic of the Akiko Tsuruga Quartet from Friday's stellar show at Uncle Cheef.

And click that YouTube link to hear trumpeter Joe Magnarelli's “New York Osaka Junction” if you want some hard bop goodness.

Happy New Year from 8495Jazz!
