Posted at 09:21h, 15 JanuaryI’ll pass on this for now. Will wait until the Paisley Park jams. Hopefully those won’t be at the $200 a pop fee. I understand the cost because the Dakota is a limited/intimate venue so demand will be higher. With Paisley Park you can fit more people in than the Dakota.

Posted at 01:02h, 15 JanuaryThe Dakota Jazz Club has no listing of this event on their website calendar. I called just to verify and the person on the telephone advised me there is no Prince jam, rehearsal, auditions, or any other performance(s). What gives?
