AZZ Cl B LI TINGS<br />
It's difficult sometimes to get the club listings together in time for<br />
WholeNote. Clubs are often finalizing their lineups right to the last minute,<br />
well after the magazine has gone to press. And so it's virtually impossible to<br />
get listings two months in advance, although we do our best. But there are<br />
still lots of ways to find out what's going on in the clubs. At<br />
www.jazzintoronto.com, or at any one of the multitude of websites for<br />
individual clubs, listings are posted as soon as they become available. Check<br />
these sites or call individual clubs for more information!<br />
