GAINESVILLE
FRIENDS OF
JAZZ Message from the
President Welcome to our 2010 Concert Series. In 1983, ten forward thinking jazz musicians and
enthusiasts organized our jazz society. Chartered by the founders as a 501(c)(3)
not for profit corporation, the mission established for Gainesville Friends of Jazz has been to support, promote and
increase public awareness, interest, participation and education in jazz,
America’s music. We have grown considerably, from our early
beginnings with jazz at the Thomas Center. During this period, we have featured some of the best established talent on the
jazz scene and rising stars of the next generation of jazz musicians. This season, Gainesville
Friends of Jazz offers six diverse concerts at the
Thomas Center. The artists
performing at our concerts include some of the finest jazz musicians playing
today. In addition, we are extremely excited to present, along with
Presenting Sponsor Affordable Dentures, the 8th Annual Gainesville Jazz
Festival. As you make plans for your cultural calendar, be sure to circle the Gainesville
Friends of Jazz concert dates.
These concerts are part of our commitment to you our loyal patrons, to
continue bringing outstanding live jazz performances to our community. Thank you for your continued patronage and support of jazz,
America’s music. Until next time, Keep Jazzin’ It Up ! Sincerely, Scott Scott R. Koons President |
