Here's the latest bday list (Celebrating their birthdays
in SAGITTARIUS, and who have signed or will sign the calendar soon--
The band I have seen them with is in parenthesis, or Chicago, if they play
locally here.
There are a few exceptions that have not signed the calendar that I mention.
My own jazz Bday calendar when released will have complete
Bday database documentation such as where born, what year, for signatures and
those jazz greats that have passed or I have yet to meet and register in the
jazz calendar data warehouse.
