Currently not 'Jazzed' About Concerts

Over the past few months, COVID-19 cases and closures have caused me to be very nostalgic with regard to live concerts, as I fear it will be quite some time before I'm comfortable attending performances in venues full of potential coronavirus carriers -- and quite some time before a reliable vaccine is available.  As for nostalgia, I am very pleased that I was able to experience a show -- featuring Beegie Adair, no less -- at the Nashville Jazz Workshop's Jazz Cave on Oct. 21, 2017.  The evening afforded me the opportunity to finally experience both Adair and the Jazz Cave before I moved out of state and before NJW moved to another location.

Concert Cataloguing

Since I began this blog, I have endeavored to capture the concerts that I have attended.  However, I enjoyed many, many shows prior to the birth of this blog in early July 2006.  I have also inadvertently failed to properly record performances, here and there.  In an effort to catalog each concert I have attended, I have located ticket stubs for shows that I have not yet posted on this blog and listed them below.  There are, of course, countless concerts for which I have no stubs or evidence of attendance.  In the days ahead, I will attempt to compile memories, as well as physical memorabilia (photos, autographed posters, autographed CD booklets, etc.) and log the missing shows as best I can.  The following, previously-omitted concert listings appear in alphabetical order, by artist.
