Wax in the Stacks is a vibrant vinyl listening group. Using a vintage 1960s Mustang II portable vinyl player, we'll dive into different music genres each month. January's theme is MODAL JAZZ.
This month at "Wax in the Stacks," we’re diving into the lush, improvisational world of modal jazz! Join us as we spin classic albums from groundbreaking artists like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bill Evans. Experience the rich harmonies and innovative structures that define this genre, pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz.
This is a new, unique vinyl listening group hosted at the library. Each month, music lovers and curious listeners will gather and explore a range of genres using a vintage 1960s Mustang II portable vinyl player. From the soulful melodies of Motown to the psychedelic vibes of the '60s, we'll take a deep dive into the rich tapestry of music history. Each session will feature curated selections that showcase iconic artists and overlooked treasures from various genres, sparking discussions and sharing stories about the music we love.
Dust off your collections and bring your favorite records, or simply come to listen and enjoy the nostalgic crackle of vinyl. Whether you're a seasoned audiophile or just starting your vinyl journey, "Wax in the Stacks" is the perfect space to connect with fellow music enthusiasts, learn about different musical styles, and celebrate the timeless art of rolling records.
