(Many thanks to Ms. Courtaway for mentioning StLJN in the piece as a source of information on local jazz events, and my apologies to the event's organizers and to you, O valued reader, for the belated notice in this space. I did get information about the Glendale fest a while back, but, truth be told, it just kind of slipped through the cracks during a busy couple of weeks here at StLJN HQ. Although I try my best to make the information here timely and complete, in this case - well, I just plain blew it. I will certainly do everything I can to make sure that similar omissions do not happen again in the future.)
