The Mark LaRochelle Youth Open Mic presented by The Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation marked a new milestone on March 10th 2023. As reported earlier this year we took it on the road!

The year the music almost died – The Origin Story

JSJBF History is a new monthly feature being added to the newsletter by Charlie Wuth and Larry Adelman. Its intention is to share with our volunteers, members, and the community its amazing origin and contribution to jazz and blues music, community education, and youth education in the shore area. JSJBF has a 36-year history of providing music festivals, community outreach, education, and youth music programs, beginning with our first festival in 1988.
