The Society of Jazz Explorers - March 2026 Edition

After a nearly five-decade career as one of his generation's defining rock bassists, Flea will be releasing his first full-length solo album, 'Honora', on March 27, 2026, via Nonesuch Records. Time and space have finally allowed him to return to his first musical loves: jazz and playing the trumpet. Alongside Flea is a core band of Josh Johnson (saxophone), Jeff Parker (guitar), Anna Butterss (bass), and Deantoni Parks (drums), as well as vocals from Thom Yorke and Nick Cave.

Join us on Tuesday, March 24th at 6pm to hear 'Honora' a few days before the official release date. We’ll have some free posters for attendees (while supplies last) and one lucky attendee will win an 'HONORA' TEST PRESSING! Our friends at will be providing us with some tasty treats and we'll have 15% off all used jazz, per usual.

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.

P.S. You can pre-order 'Honora' now on Indie Exclusive 2LP Red Vinyl or CD at !

About the Society:

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, a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗷𝗮𝘇𝘇 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 at Rust & Wax Record Shop.

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. ⁣
