I had to move to Israel to find a regular Jazz listening experience!
In our many years living in the USA we had a rich and varied social life. Our Chevra (close friends) includes those we have known just about all our life as well as many made through the years. Sadly some have passed but with all the others we maintain a warm and lasting friendship.
However the one thing missing were friends who loved Jazz - especially of the New Orleans and Swing era. Wherever Elaine and I travelled, in the USA and abroad, we sought out local Jazz clubs. We combined many vacations with Jazz festivals and went on Jazz cruises. But, except for one occasion, it was just the two us.
Lo and behold, because of a chance remark made by a friend about my passion for Jazz, here in Israel we were introduced to a very special group of people who share the same passion.
