The Hot Club of New York announced the passing of Jan Evensmo. I got this information last night from fellow board member @Fer Urbina: "This morning we learned the sad news that Jan Evensmo has left us. For those who aren't familiar with this name, he was an amazing jazz fan, scholar and discographer who created the jazz 'solography.' His work is available for free at https://www.jazzarcheology.com/.

His work has been an invaluable resource in our programming." Jan was a true jazz lover and enthusiast, a generous human being and a nice guy. May he rest in peace!
