New Jersey Jazz Society

New Jersey Jazz Society (NJJS) is an organization of business and professional people, musicians, teachers, students and listeners working together for the purpose of advancing jazz music.  Founded in 1972, the Society is managed by a board of directors who meet monthly to develop strategic plans for the organization.  To that end, NJJS:
