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 artists we've had, here's a list of them all. Unfortunately, there are some 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.
