Time to take stock of the finest jazz releases of the year to this point!
We'll be gathering for an informal jukebox jury and panel discussion on
Wednesday, September 15th, 6-8 p.m. at the New School Jazz and Contemporary
Music performance space, 5th Floor, 55 West 13th Street in Manhattan.

Howard Mandel will moderate the event. He'll be joined by Sheila Anderson,
Martin Johnson, David R. Adler and Kurt Gottschalk, each of whom will bring
several tracks for listening, blindfold-testing and freewheeling discussion.
