The Society of Jazz Explorers - December Edition

Since opening our doors in 2020, one thing we hear over and over again from our customers is that they would like to get into jazz but they don’t know where to begin. We get it! There are so many entry points and the sheer size of the genre can scare people off before they even start exploring. So, we decided to do something about it.⁣
⁣
Welcome to 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗮𝘇𝘇 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗿s. The Society will be a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗷𝗮𝘇𝘇 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 at Rust & Wax Record Shop. Each month will have a new theme and 1-2 albums that fit that theme, only the catch is, you won’t know the albums before showing up. Because we believe this act of exploration isn’t just for discovering music you haven’t heard before, it’s also about rediscovering an album you may have forgotten or hearing it in a new light. ⁣
⁣
Whether you’re new to the genre, a seasoned veteran of jazz, or someone floating in between those two extremes, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙖 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙅𝙖𝙯𝙯 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙧𝙨. If you’re new to the genre, our goal is to provide you with easy on-ramps, so that you can find your sweet spots without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re a long-term jazz head, our goal is to introduce you to new artists, new subgenres under the jazz umbrella, possibly get you to revisit albums you may already know, and simply expand your love and appreciation of the genre. ⁣
⁣
And we won’t be alone on this journey, because we’re working with two amazing sponsors. 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗝𝗮𝘇𝘇 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁 is on board and will be providing us with monthly 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 and our friends at 𝗣𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗶 were gracious enough to supply some delicious food to keep our Explorers well fed!⁣
⁣
So please join us on 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, December 11th 𝗮𝘁 𝟲𝗽𝗺 for “A Jazz Explorers Christmas Special”, as we explore two Christmas jazz essentials. ⁣

RSVP is encouraged for this event and all RSVP spots are available on a first come, first serve basis. PLEASE ONLY RSVP FOR YOURSELF. IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR FAMILY JOINING YOU, PLEASE HAVE THEM RSVP SEPARATELY.

Hope to see y'all there!
