The JAZZ.FM91 International Jazz Safari to Cuba sold out quickly so we’re adding more trips. January 8th - 15th will be a smaller than usual safari with just 20 guests… And the following week January 15th - 22nd we will be in Havana during the Havana Jazz Festival and will allow a slightly larger group of donors.

Here’s where you get all the information:

Also, it’s likely my Beeline Music Adventure Tours will offer a trip to Hawaii at the end of February (possibly early March) . For now, if you are interested in that please contact me directly. jaymzbeesez@gmail.com
