Are you a friend of jazz and live in the Albuquerque area? Then you can follow the JJA Jazz Awards live on streaming video and celebrate with other local jazz fans at a potluck "satellite party" at the Outpost Performance Space  on June 14 simultaneously with the Jazz Awards ceremony and reception in New York City.



The satellite party starts at 1:30 pm local time on Monday June 14 at 
Outpost Performance Space

210 Yale SE

2 blocks south of Central
Albuquerque, NM

BYO snacks

This very informal  gathering will provide an opportunity for the local jazz community to get together and watch the online streaming video as the awards are announced in New York and as the JJA's "A Team" and "Jazz Hero" honorees are introduced. They'll also hear the music being performed at the Awards by pianist Ayako Shirasaki, guitarist Rale Micic's trio, pianist Marc Cary's Focus Trio, the Tia Fuller Quartet and the Bobby Sanabria Big Band.

Outpost is Albuquerque's non-profit, member-supported community-based performing arts space. For more information call (505) 268-0044 or write mail@outpostspace.org

Parties are also planned for other locales. More are being added every day, check the list here.
