Geoffrey Himes wrote a wonderful piece on Jazzway 6004 in the November 11^th issue of the Baltimore City Paper:

The Lake House: Jazzway 6004 offers one of the finer listening experiences in the city. http://www.citypaper.com/music/story.asp?id=19251

 

We are currently booked through JUNE 2010. Because we are in a residential neighborhood, we present only one concert per month, so there are many fewer slots than their are requests to perform. IN THE FUTURE WE PLAN TO OFFER ABOUT 8 OR 9 CONCERTS PER YEAR. 

 I have turned over ALL future bookings to a selection committee because I have too many requests to process or respond to on an individual basis. The committee will select the remiander of the artists for the 2010 season and or the 2011 season. Please send your electronic press kit to mmkatz@jazzway6004.org OR you can mail your press package and demo CD to the address below and all materials will be given to our selection panel. Please include Friday or Saturday dates that you would be avaialble after September 2010. The venue address and mailing address is:

Jazzway 6004

6004 Hollins Ave

Baltimore, MD 21210

There are two good reasons to purchase the April issue of Downbeat Magazine. One of their regular departments "The Beat" (page 14) features an article about jazz house concerts, and Jazzway 6004 was one of three venues across the US that was interviewed and included in the article. These are some nice quotes from Jeff Antoniuk and Joel Holmes in the article.

The review section of the April Downbeat (page 69) features Baltimore's own Warren Wolf who had his CD "RAW" reviewed - receiving 4 STARS!

Warren will be at Jazzway in June and you can find a link to purchase his dynamic CD in our "products" section:
www.jazzway6004.org/products.html
So pick up the April issue of Downbeat to read about Jazzway 6004 and the great Baltimore jazz scene.
