PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING POINTS OF INTEREST:
1. Proof of vaccination or a 72-hour negative COVID test will be required for entry.
2. ALL PATRONS must wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status.
3. A cap of 20 patrons has been placed upon the proceedings, as a result of the rise in COVID numbers throughout Connecticut.
4. If you attend this event, you will be part of a LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE. As such, because the proceedings are being filmed and streamed out for the world to see, it is IMPERATIVE that you follow etiquette as you would at a club such as the Village Vanguard, the Side Door Jazz Club, or the like thereof. There will be breaks in-between sets, so that patrons can use the restroom, stretch, and mingle.
5. The Library Studio is located at 134 Broad Street in downtown Middletown, Connecticut. Patrons MUST park in the parking lot across from the Russell Library, which is known as the Broad Street Parking Lot. DO NOT PARK IN SPOTS THAT ARE MARKED FOR "PEDAL POWER". Parking in this lot is free of charge on Sundays, so you do not need to feed the meter.
6. Food and drink WILL NOT be sold at this event. "
Make Music: Winter Edition - Jazz Trail is also sponsored by Central City Productions. A HUGE thank you must be extended to Trevor Davis and Tré Davis of the Library Studio, as well as Ronald Lyles , Winston Tate, Maurice D. Robertson , Steven Bulmer , Sherman Schlar , Carol Ann Smith, Andres Chaparro , Fred Ward, and Janixia Reyes of The Hartford Jazz Society Board of Directors for making this event possible.
If you are unable to attend in person, please tune-in on either The Hartford Jazz Society or The Library Studio pages, respectively.
