“Many of our great jazz legends have passed on – from Al Tinney to Etta Jones to Dodo Green to, most recently, Count Rabbit. Many of them graced our stage at the Pine Grill Jazz Reunion, so we are dedicating the 22nd year of this wonderful event to their memory and the contributions they made to the jazz genre,” AACC Executive Director Agnes M. Bain said.

“Many thanks go to our generous sponsors. They enable our agency to continue to bring top jazz entertainment to the community each summer free of charge. We also thank the many individuals who give $25 or more to have their name included on the back of the annual Pine Grill T-shirt. Their combined donations also go a long way toward mounting this event.” Bain said.
