Radam Schwartz, Master of the Hammond B3, sent this note out to his mailing list recently:

Please help us support live jazz in New Brunswick by getting the word out about the New Brunswick Jazz Festival.

As many of you know, the festival is the vision of Allen McGriff who started the festival with no funding several years ago.
