I just wanted to note that there is a LOT of jazz (and associated styles) happening throughout greater metro Atlanta this week for Valentine's Day. If you are looking for someplace to take your partner or someone special for a nice evening, there are plenty of options.

Open the full calendar on the Jazz Evangelist page and scroll below the multi-day & recurring events for the multitude of events happening every day at places you probably haven't even heard of.

If you are a musician/singer, and you have a gig at a restaurant, lounge or venue and it isn't on here - please create a Facebook event so that it can be added to the calendar!
