President’s
Message
On behalf
of the Jazz Association of Macon, I want to extend a warm
welcome to you for visiting our web site. Please browse
around and make yourself at home.
From local artists who represent Macon’s great jazz spirit
to nationally known musicians from across the country, the
Jazz Association of Macon, since its conception in 1986,
continues to provide Macon and Middle Georgians with the
opportunity to enjoy the finest in jazz.
The purpose of the Jazz Association of Macon is to nurture
the growth and enhancement of jazz music as an American art
form by providing information and services to individuals
and organizations committed to the creation, performance,
instruction, presentation, and preservation of jazz music.
The Jazz Association of Macon had a great year this past
season and we all can be proud of being a part of the
success that the organization has seen. The “JAM Goes Back
to School” series continues to be a big success. And
speaking personally, the musicians that participated had a
great time entertaining the children, as well as, being
entertained. We have been to over sixty schools since first
starting this program. The kids love it.
Our new membership year has already begun. If you have not
joined or renewed your membership, consider making that
commitment. You can download the membership form from the
website. If you have e-mail and are not on our e-mail list,
please let us know. Remember to extend an invitation to join
JAM to your friends and family so we can ALL help support
and promote jazz in the middle Georgia area.
Our annual membership drive is during our annual "Arts on
Riverdale" jazz and art festival held each year toward the
end of October. Browse the web site to learn more about "The
Arts on Riverdale" and to download the art booth
registration form.
I am excited about the role that the Jazz Association of
Macon has played in the past and look to the future,
celebrating the only original American art form---jazz.
Thanks again for visiting our site. Inquiries are always
welcome.
Until next time, keep swinging.
Edward K. Clark MD
President, Jazz Association of Macon
