Attendance at most Jazz Relevations concerts in 2018 was disappointing so this series has been suspended in 2019. We will keep our ears open, however, if opportunity presents for a special concert.

New Venue for Jazz Revelations

Our wonderful host, Aurora Providence, is unfortunately closing at the end of October. Therefore, the last two Jazz Revelations concerts in 2017, on November 5th and December 10th, will move to a different venue.

Machines With Magnets (MWM, machineswithmagnets.com) is a cool space in Pawtucket that will host us, thanks to the generosity of Seth Manchester.

There is ample free, public parking behind MWM, but it can be difficult to find the entrances the first time. Look for a small, blue sign with “MWM” in white or for the larger sign of the neighboring Senior Center.

If you are using navigation and coming from I-95, enter “38 Church St, Pawtucket”, rather than MWM’s address, as your destination. Church St is one-way, and the parking lot entrance will be on the left, just beyond this address.

Enter MWM through the unmarked rear entrance by the picnic tables. Please see photos for additional information.
