July

Month of sultn' noons and nights!

Fields are parched for want of rain;

But thou hast thy own dehghts,

Luscious fruits and golden grain.

Ripened wheat in heavy sheaves,

Merry workmen store away,

Pile in barns above the eaves,

On the mows of fragrant hay.

Dear Friends

Greetings from the Both Sides of Joni Europe Tour. We have three more very special performances

July 3 at Porgy & Bess in Vienna, one of the finest jazz clubs in the world! The club also provides a free livestream - tune in from anywhere in the world, here is the link.

July 5 & 6 Canaris Jazz on Tenerife and Gran Canaria, such an honor to be part of this festival! The calendar listings also includes new dates in Indiana and the second US part of the Both Sides of Joni tour.

Both Sides of Joni will be at the London Jazz Festival in November followed by more dates in Germany and Austria - Europe friends and colleagues, please consider workshops with Alexis Cole and/or the band and concerts and send me a note, the show is magic!

It's official now - we will be recording the 4th Sheroes album with an all star cast in September under the mentorship of Lenny White and with support of a Performance Plus Grant from Chamber Music America. Get ready for a Spring 2024 release and Sheroes touring next summer, and feel free to contact me for more info and booking options. We'll share previews of the music on July 8 in Vienna and on July 15 at the Marburg Jazz Festival, check the calendar below.

Happy Summertime
