Aims – to bring together jazz fans
and musicians in the area. There are different groups of musicians and audiences
in the area who might form separate communities. There are probably jazz

music together, so beginners are very welcome to join in. To try to prove that
Jazz is fun and not “difficult” or elitist. We wish to foster an appreciation of
local talent. To encourage future collaborations.
