My Favorite Holiday Albums
December 5, 2010 – 12:31 pm
Some of you may have seen this last season, but if you missed it, here are a few fantabulous holiday sounds that will break the monotony of the piped in stuff you hear in ever store this time of year. We’ve been playing these at the Bistro for the past month and [...]
Phil Dunlap’s 15 Favorite Jazz Albums
October 25, 2010 – 12:40 pm
When I was asked to participate in choosing my top 15 jazz records, I really had to stop and think. There are so many great albums out there….I would surely be able to come up with 15, right? But when I really started mulling over my potential list, I realized that the task [...]

Prior to coming to work for Jazz St. Louis more than four years ago, I knew nothing about jazz. I still don’t know much, but I know what I like. This was supposed to be a list of 15 jazz albums, but I honestly couldn’t give you a list of 15 jazz albums where I [...]

Every Friday for the next few weeks, a Jazz St. Louis staff member will count down their 15 favorite jazz albums. These are not intended to be ‘Best Jazz Album’ lists, but personal favorites of the staff members.

August 31, 2010 – 10:49 am
“It’s incredible that a place like this exists, not just in St. Louis, but anywhere.” -David Sanborn
Thanks to our sponsors, the David Sanborn Concert Event was a great success. With their help in filling 24 tables—and with both nights sold out—we were able to raise over $30,000 that will go directly to our education and [...]
