Thanks to everyone who helped make this event possible! The sellout crowd was treated to a remarkable evening of harmonica jazz and they returned the favor by being a perfect audience.

The filming went beatuifully, the sound was great, and while patience will be required, those interested in the DVD or CD should look for details emerging over the next few months right here in this space (along with clips and photos from the show).
