Okonski is starting off 2025 strong with a new LP entitled Entrance Music โ€” an album that finds the trio (Steve Okonski on keys, Aaron Frazer on drums, and bassist Michael Isvara โ€œIshโ€ Montgomery) at the height of their improvisational prowess and celebrating the spontaneous and meditative. If Magnolia resonated with last calls and late nights, Entrance Music counters with early mornings and first cups of coffee.

About The Society:
โฃ
Since opening our doors in 2020, one thing we hear over and over again from our customers is that they would like to get into jazz but they donโ€™t know where to begin. We get it! There are so many entry points and the sheer size of the genre can scare people off before they even start exploring. So, we decided to do something about it.โฃ

Welcome to The Society of Jazz Explorers. The Society will be a ๐—™๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—˜ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ต๐—น๐˜† ๐—ท๐—ฎ๐˜‡๐˜‡ ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ at Rust & Wax Record Shop. Each month will have a new theme and 1-2 albums that fit that theme, only the catch is, you wonโ€™t know the albums before showing up. Because we believe this act of exploration isnโ€™t just for discovering music you havenโ€™t heard before, itโ€™s also about rediscovering an album you may have forgotten or hearing it in a new light. โฃ
