Since 1987,
A Place for Jazz has been
hosting a fall concert series at the
Whisperdome, the beautiful listening-space in the First Unitarian Society at 1221 Wendell Ave in Schenectady, NY. To
give you a flavor of the caliber of the artists we've brought in, here's a list of them
all. Unfortunately, there are a few gaps in the very early years (1987 and 1988). If any of you have old programs or
posters, or a very good memory, we'd be thrilled if you can fill in any blanks.

info you have.
