About JazzvilleNJ.com

What is Jazzville, NJ?

JazzvilleNJ.com is a volunteer-run community site dedicated to promoting the local Jazz scene in New Jersey. Our aim is to centralize information relating to New Jersey Jazz musicians, clubs and performances so that the public at large can tap into this tremendous artistic resource hidden in plain sight.

As some of Jazz’s biggest names hail from New Jersey, we consider it our responsibility to shine a light on the up and coming talent in this great state. Sarah Vaughn, Count Basie, Wayne Shorter and Dizzie Gillespie, just to name a few, have at one time called New Jersey their home.

From time to time, we will also feature Tap Dance and Poetry events as these two art forms are part of an intricately woven artistic tapestry that has deep and strong ties to live Jazz.

Who is behind Jazzville, NJ?
