"Special" Half–Season Rates

Welcome to Jazz Series Concert Review – our special print- and web-based opportunity for Small Business Sponsors.

The "We Always Swing" Jazz Series launched the print- and web-based Concert Review in 2006. Since then we have received a great deal of positive feedback from a number of participating businesses as well as from the public who say they like the idea of both receiving our in-depth concert programs when they attend performances and then subsequently re-visiting them on line.

We're now pleased to extend an amended offer to ALL small businesses by making available display space for “Half-Season” (2 separate programs covering this season’s five (5) remaining concerts) and in the Special Concert Review Program we are currently producing for the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, which takes place February 10, 2008, in Jesse Auditorium.

We will again offer print editions of these programs to concertgoers. We will, likewise, place each program in its entirety on our web site -- www.wealwaysswing.org. In print editions we list all display advertisers alphabetically in the back of each book as a ready reference. The web-based edition features links in three different locations to sponsors’ web sites including a link directly on display notices, a link via our "Contributors Roster" page where we list all supporters and a link that’s created when we place sponsors’ logos on our "Small Business Sponsors".

For additional details and complete rate and deadline schedules about either the Half-Season Concert Review or the Special Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis Concert Review, please scroll down, e-mail us or call our office. Thank You.
