SPECIAL NOTE: This has been designated an "AJHF MEET-AND-GREET" for members of the Arkansas Jazz Heritage Foundation/Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame. Several board members (including President James Thomson) will be present; AJHF members and other jazz aficionados can pick up/submit AJHF materials (including membership applications) from/to AJHF Secretary Alita Mantels. FYI: The Arkansas Jazz Heritage Foundation (which sponsors and maintains the Arkansas Jazz Hall of Fame) holds each of its board meetings (as well as an occasional meet-and-greet) before/during Monday Jazz at The Afterthought because it is the only Little Rock venue which has presented live jazz continuously - at least once a week - since the 1970s. (That distinction earned the iconic club a place on the map in the first print edition of the Encyclopedia of Arkansas Music, published in September 2013 by the Central Arkansas Library System's Butler Center for Arkansas Studies.) Located in the historic Hillcrest neighborhood and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, The Afterthought and its adjoining restaurant occupy a building which served as the town hall for Pulaski Heights before its 1916 annexation by Little Rock.
