The NJAJE Board of Directors is excited for the upcoming school year. As you are reading this, the All State Jazz Ensemble and
Honors Jazz Choir are hard at work preparing for their concert series in November. We are pleased to have Walt Weiskopf, of New Jersey City University, and Timothy Brent, of Rider University, directing these ensembles. A special thanks to ensemble managers Brian Height and Steven Bishop in their help behind the scenes as the ensembles prepare for performance. It should be a wonderful set of concerts, beginning at the “Claridge Hotel Theater” in Atlantic City on November 9th and concluding a week later at the NJPAC on November 17th. I encourage all of you to make an effort to hear these ensembles, you will not be disappointed! Our Vice President Jeff Haas is hard at work finalizing the details of the 13th Annual Jazz Conference on November 17th at the
“Lucent Center” of NJPAC. The focus of this year’s conference is Jazz History. In addition to the Reading Band, we will be offering a Vocal Jazz Ensemble reading session led by Steve Bishop. NJAJE will also be honoring our Jazz Educator of the Year, David Thomas May of Burlington City High School, as part of the Conference. Attendance is included with membership! This past May, NJAJE was able to host the inaugural Vocal Jazz Ensemble Festival! Similar to our Big Band Festival, 6 High School
Vocal Jazz Ensembles performed for a panel of distinguished Vocal Jazz Educators/Performers. Special thanks to Jeffery Lesser, Rowan College at Burlington County, for organizing the event and Randy White, Hopewell Valley Central Regional High School, for hosting. We will be holding the event again this coming spring. If you are interested in participating, please check our website! Membership has its privileges! Included with your membership is attendance for our Annual Conference, a subscription to Downbeat Magazine, and entrance to any all Jazz activities sponsored by NJAJE. Sign up today at
