2019 Roswell Jazz Festival Newsletter

The Roswell Civic Center is an exciting new venue for the RJF this Year!

RJF has arranged to use the Roswell Civic Center for nighttime performances as well as the School of Jazz and jazz seminars. The RCC reopened in March 2019 following an extensive renovation. The main room allows space for up to 300 attendees. The RCC rooms will be used for RJF performances and educational activities; and a green room is provided for the musicians. This venue will allow RJF fans to stay in one location to see several nighttime performances and allow more fans in per performance. Food and beverages (including alcohol) will be available for purchase. Using the RCC also allows RJF to save money on setup costs, allowing more investment in the jazz. We look forward to seeing you there!

The RJF Spring Fundraiser on April 5th was a big success!

The Anderson Twins put on a great performance at the Pecos Flavors Winery for a sold-out audience.   Peter and Will Anderson, and their guitarist, Felix Lemerle played several jazz classics and some original material as well.

The silent auction and live auction, hosted by Bob Entrop, were also big successes, raising funding to maintain and enhance the RJF and the RJF scholarship program.
