Nashville Jazz Workshop Fundraiser

NJW 9th Annual Fall Fundraiser

Sunday, September 13, 4-8 pm
Limelight, 201 Woodland Street

Now in its ninth year, the NJW Fall Fundraiser is the Jazz Party of the Year. Our guest artist this year is Donna McElroy, master jazz vocalist, educator, and recording artist on the faculty of Berklee College of Music. Donna, a former Nashville resident and Fisk Jubilee Singer, is well known to NJW audiences, playing to packed houses on her rare return visits. (click for bio & photos). Also on the program are 3rd Coast Vocals featuring Jeff Hall, Sandra Dudley, Christina Watson, Mark Stephens, and an NJW All Star Ensemble featuring Rod McGaha, Rahsaan Barber, Chester Thompson, Joe Davidian, and Jim Ferguson.

A unique feature of the live and silent auction is Small Works - a collection of 5" x 7" canvases with paintings by some of the area's top artists, including Andee, produced especially for this event. View works here: nashvillejazz.org/smallworks09.php

An added attraction this year -- artist R. Lafayette Mitchell will be on hand for the event and will do a live painting, to be sold during the auction. You won't want to miss the chance to see and bid on this one-of-a-kind item!

The ticket price of $50 includes complimentary wine from 4 to 5 pm, food by Monell's and incredible music for four hours. Tickets can be purchased by phone at 615-242-5299 and can also be purchased online.
