HI jazz camper….  Like me, you’re probably counting the hours to class, 
jams, second line, P Hall and more such as the dinner you promised to buy 
me.  But first, I wanted to share with you a couple of jazz events produced 
our jazz club.

We hope you’ll not only tune in but also help us spread the word among your 
pals,  bandmates, neighbors  about a couple of our talks about jazz – free 
as always on zoom (donations, ahem, happily accepted).  In the way of 
background, Potomac River Jazz Club (PRJC,  in the Washington, DC area) 
began the series of talks during the pandemic as a way to bring jazz topics 
to our members while they were homebound forced to watch reruns of Maury 
Povich and Jerry Springer.

          They are produced by Elie Cossa, a jazz camp alumnus.

While Maury is still going, I’ve been told, turns out the talks have 
outlasted Jerry, may he rest in TV peace.

Both of the next two presenters are considered deep experts in their fields 
of interest.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  BTW, if you 
want to recommend a speaker for a future talk, please do tell and I will 
pass it along to Elie.

Best wishes, and just where are we having dinner????

Jazz Talk Deets:

The first takes place Monday June 24 at 7:00 – 8:00 PM EASTERN time and

in a perfect position to understand the unique aspects of history, geography 
and culture that brought jazz to life in the Crescent City.  David has 
produced radio broadcasts for 30 years, has had a weekly radio show on WWOZ 
since 1993, and produced numerous documentaries about New Orleans artists.

The Zoom is  FREE, although we accept donations at the time of registration 
to offset the cost of the program.

Then, just when you thought you knew everything about the illustrious 
history of Louis Armstrong, here comes Ricky Riccardi, the preeminent 
biographer of Louis, to tell you there’s more.  Ricky is a Grammy-winning 
author and serves as the Director of Research Collections at the Louis 
Armstrong Museum in Queens.  Title of the free (did we say donations are 
welcome?) Zoom talk is Pops Is Tops (of course) – it takes place on Monday, 
JULY 22 at 7 – 8:00 PM EASTERN time.

As with all the jazz talks, you have to preregister by 5pm EASTERN TIME the 
night of the talk and a link to the Zoom will be sent to you shortly before
