From jazz to Springsteen, Asbury Park to Atlantic City, the Garden State is also the Music State. With the return of live concerts this summer, this month we're sharing work by New Jersey's talented musicians.
Chicken Bone Beach Jazz honors Atlantic City's history, performing jazz concerts right on the beach. Their name references the historical segregation of the city’s beaches—now, they present jazz concerts on this world famous shore, showing that jazz is “more than just musical entertainment; it is a progressive, gathering force of inclusion.”
