There is still time to enter the sweepstakes to win a trip to New York City and concert tickets for Lizz Wright (ends 8/13) and Roy Hargrove (ends 8/25). The ever so cool j-notes logo appears on each contest page. I am honored. Roy Hargrove and RH Factor will be funking up Yoshi’s from August 14 to 17. I cannot wait!
