The schedule and line-up for the Winter Jazzfest in New York City, Thursday January 8th, through Saturday Janaury 10th, have been announced.

I haven't digested the entire schedule yet, but thought I put it out here for your consideration, edification or vilification, as it may be. I see a lot of interesting folks on the schedule, enough to likely get me to NYC, provided it is not in the grip of a major snow storm. I suspect many of these musicians will be touring after or before the NYC gig, so they might be coming your way.
