Well I’ll once again apologize for the recent very slow period in this blog, as happens periodically. I’m writing from Santa Fe, NM where I’m spending the holidays with family and friends, and just want to let you know that the Shanghai Jazz Scene lives on and will start the new year with redoubled efforts and some guest writers. My life has been busier than ever this past fall, and I haven’t done the scene justice with how little has been written here. I missed some pretty legendary events on the scene this fall, like when Beyonce’s band came to JZ Club and rocked the house till dawn with everybody together. So it’s about time I invited some more people to contribute to the SJS blog. So expect some better coverage and other changes in the new year. Until then, all the best to you!
Look forward to hearing more from more different people. Alas, it looks like I won’t be back to Shanghai for quite a while. My Captain upgrade training starts next month and I don’t have any Shanghai trips between now and then. Glad I got to enjoy it while I did. Hopefully I’ll make it back in a year or two.
Cheers! … and Merry Christmas!
