AZZ Cl B LI TINGS It's difficult sometimes to get the club listings together in time for WholeNote. Clubs are often finalizing their lineups right to the last minute, well after the magazine has gone to press. And so it's virtually impossible to get listings two months in advance, although we do our best. But there are still lots of ways to find out what's going on in the clubs. At www.jazzintoronto.com, or at any one of the multitude of websites for individual clubs, listings are posted as soon as they become available. Check these sites or call individual clubs for more information!
