We love to share our music to make you feel good--wherever in the world you are--explore us!
Thank you for again watching, donating..

Jazzy greetings,

We are very grateful and feel very lucky that with tremendous generous help and donations we were able to obtain a new performance home, the ballroom @ the Fairfield House.
|
This very neglected historic property with leaking roof needs urgent renovation, especially the ballroom, located at the top floor.
|
We started a fundraiser "Raise The Roof @ The Ballroom".
