D. In the Clubs (Mostly Jazz)<br />

As we approach the goal of realizing our intention of listing club events in a searchable format,<br />

we take a step back before taking two steps forward. In this issue, while we do list<br />

regular recurring events at some clubs, we do not have detailed listings. Please visit the<br />

clubs’ websites or use the phone number provided for further information. We apologize<br />

for this temporary inconvenience.<br />
