Jazz Hangs added to the Jazz Retreats website!! We’ve put all of the 2025 Jazz Hangs on a separate tab in www.jazzretreats.com with titles for each grouping. Pat has done an amazing job putting these sessions together starting in the earlier days of the pandemic! He never runs out of interesting topics and listening opportunities. Enjoy!!
